Rebellion and satire in the late Victorian period The
creation period of Sherlock Holmes was from the 1870s to the late Victorian period in the early 20th century, a period when the British Empire experienced a period of prosperity and decline. The economy of the late 1970s and early 1980s further exacerbated the divide between the rich and the poor, and the social ethics and values ​​that the Victorian dynasty espoused disintegrated. Several important villains headed by Moriarty in "Sherlock Holmes" are of noble origin and well-educated. The perpetrators of several major cases, such as "Bronze Beech", are self-righteous tyrant fathers. Or a snobby family member. The disintegration of Victorian family life and the contempt for authority, manifested in the novel as a satire of Scotland Yard, the absence of a father, at the same time portrays Sherlock Holmes as manic, melancholic, focused only on the things he is interested in, living a decadent and even dependent life. A rebellious image of the boring time of drug play. In the gloomy London streets, some people believe in justice, some people worship evil, but no one believes in morality, including the tit-for-tat Sherlock Holmes.
