Conan Doyle
Can you please describe the characters from the story The Hound of The Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle?
I need one or two line description of the characters in the story
“The hound of the Baskervilles” by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Also I need the relationships among the characters.
It is a Sherlock Holmes novel.
Any help is appreciated.
Sir Henry Baskerville – The late Sir Charles’s nephew and closet living relative. Sir Henry is hale and hearty, described as “a small, alert, dark-eyed man about thirty years of age, very sturdily built.” By the end of the story, Henry is as worn out and shell-shocked as his late uncle was before his death.
Sir Charles Baskerville – The head of the Baskerville estate. Sir Charles was a superstitious man, and terrified of the Baskerville curse and his waning health at the time of his death. Sir Charles was also a well-known philanthropist, and his plans to invest in the regions surrounding his estate make it essential that Sir Henry move to Baskerville Hall to continue his uncle’s good works.
Sir Hugo Baskerville – A debaucherous and shadowy Baskerville ancestor, Sir Hugo is the picture of aristocratic excess, drinking and pursuing pleasures of the flesh until it killed him.
Mortimer – Family friend and doctor to the Baskervilles. Mortimer is a tall, thin man who dresses sloppily but is an all-around nice guy and the executor of Charles’s estate. Mortimer is also a phrenology enthusiast, and he wishes and hopes to some day have the opportunity to study Holmes’ head.
Mr. Jack Stapleton – A thin and bookish-looking entomologist and one-time schoolmaster, Stapleton chases butterflies and reveals his short temper only at key moments. A calm façade masks the scheming, manipulative villain that Holmes and Watson come to respect and fear
