Hound Of The Baskervilles Hound of the Baskervilles The hound of the Baskervilles is a story that combines the realms of the logical Darwinian sciences and the supernatural. There are many clear and apparent examples of these two topics throughout the story and they play a prevalent role in the theme of the book. One example of a supernatural idea in this story is the whole legend of “The Hound”. This can be clearly seen on p.6 when out of an old manuscript it is read “a foul thing, a great black beast, larger than any other beast with great blazing eyes and a jaw dripping with blood”. This quote shows us the fear the common man had for this supernatural beast and conveys a sense of bewilderment and confusion regarding its origin. Another example of a supernatural event would be on p.44 when Dr. Watson and Sir Henry Baskervill are both awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of a woman crying. “It was the sobbing of a woman, the muffled strangling gasp of one who is torn by uncontrollable sorrow” p. 44 was Dr. Watson’s account of the incident. What makes this even qualify as supernatural is that after Dr. Watson supernatural, holmes, hound, story, example, watson, stapleton, logic, letter, dr, darwinian, seen, great, dog, beast, baskervilles, woman, times, sir, person, out, mr, henry, explanation, educated, clear, baskervill, another, 23, written, whistle, two, through, third, shows, says
