When they discover clues they will come up with a hypothesis and then investigate it until it is proven true or more clues are revealed to them causing them to come up with a new hypothesis. They will put themselves in the suspects shoes and think as they would to discover more clues. Holmes and Dupin also have very similar detective methods.Д«oth characters are capable of seeing things that normal people are not. Also the narrator always tells the reader everything that is going on and he is also a fairly smart person but not as smart as the main character. In both stories the narrator is a close friend who lives with the detective. In вЂњMurders in the Rue MorgueвЂќ and вЂњA Scandal in BohemiaвЂќ the reader is given a lot of information by the narrator about the main character. At first Holmes believes the speckled band was a group of gipsies that would hang out on their property, but after further investigating he had realized it was not gipsies but a speckled snake that the girlвЂ™s father kept inside the house.ДЄnother huge similarity between the two stories that would imply Doyle had copied PoeвЂ™s ideas is the narrator of the story. Holmes goes to the house where she was killed to investigate. A woman was killed a few years ago and before she died she had said it was the speckled band that killed her. In вЂњThe Adventure of the Speckled BandвЂќ, Holmes is consulted about a very suspicious case. Dupin then gets the sailor to come to his house and gets him to admit that it was his animal that committed the murder.ДЄgain these scenarios in PoeвЂ™s story are very similar to those in DoyleвЂ™s story вЂњThe Adventure of the Speckled BandвЂќ. Dupin goes on to find some more clues that lead him to believe it wasnвЂ™t a human that committed the crime but a sailors Ourang-Outang.

However, it was difficult to come up with a motive for that person because bags of money were still on the floor and the women that were murdered hardly ever made contact with others which makes it difficult to believe that there is someone who would want to cause them harm. At this scene there are many clues that would lead one to think it was a human that committed the murder. In вЂњMurders in the Rue MorgueвЂќ, Dupin goes to investigate a murder scene. Because of these similarities between the two stories by Poe and Doyle it appears that Doyle had copied his ideas from Poe who had written his story years earlier. Holmes then goes to the womanвЂ™s house and tricks her into revealing the location of the letter by faking a fire thinking that the photo would be the first thing she would grab. The king has tried many things to retrieve the letter but was unsuccessful. If the photo was released it could hurt his reputation immensely. In вЂњA Scandal in BohemiaвЂќ Holmes is confronted by an important king to retrieve a letter and a photo of him with his ex lover that proves their relationship.

Many of these aspects of PoeвЂ™s story are repeated in DoyleвЂ™s A Scandal in BohemiaвЂќ. The police have searched the ministerвЂ™s hotel room and were not able to find the letter.Дupin then goes to the ministerвЂ™s hotel room and easily retrieves the letter because he knows that the minister would hide it in plain sight, since he knew the police would come looking for it. He also knows that the letter must to be very close the minister who stole it because the ability to produce the letter when needed is just as important to the minister as actually having it. The prefect knows Minister D- stole the letter. This letter was of great importance to a certain person and if this letter was released to the public it would reveal things that could ruin that personвЂ™s reputation. In вЂњThe Purloined LetterвЂќ, Dupin is contacted by the prefect to help the police retrieve a letter that had been stolen. One of the biggest and probably most obvious similarities between the stories is that of the plots. I believe that DoyleвЂ™s detective stories are just as creative and original as PoeвЂ™s detective stories. Since the Poe stories of C.ДЄuguste Dupin were written well before DoyleвЂ™s stories of Sherlock Holmes, this leads to the question of whether or not DoyleвЂ™s stories are genuinely original or if much of his stories ideas were copied from Poe. All four of these stories had very exciting story lines and had very interesting mysterious aspects. The stories in question are вЂњThe Purloined LetterвЂќ and вЂњMurders in the Rue MorgueвЂќ by Poe and вЂњThe Adventure of the Speckled BandвЂќ and вЂњA Scandal in BohemiaвЂќ by Doyle. Auguste Dupin After reading two famous amateur detective stories by Edgar Allan Poe and two by Arthur Conan Doyle, I found myself questioning the originality of DoyleвЂ™s stories as compared to PoeвЂ™s stories. Why Sherlock Holmes is Just as Original as C.
