Even the locations tell this story. 221B Baker Street is a pigsty—cluttered, damaged, alive. The unfinished Tower Bridge symbolizes a London in transition, much like Holmes himself, caught between Victorian order and modern chaos. And the Temple of the Four Orders? A dark womb where science disguises itself as resurrection. Blackwood’s crime is not murder but fraud —using the supernatural to mask rational control. Holmes, conversely, uses apparent madness (the experiments, the violin played at 3 AM) to mask his hyper-rational terror of abandonment.
