| Abstract: | Arthur Conan Doyle is the father of one of the most famous detectives of all times, Sherlock Holmes, and it is evident to the readers and connoisseurs of detective novels that by inventing Sherlock Holmes, he influenced many other authors at the beginning of the 20th century, one of whom is Agatha Christie. Christie is mostly famous for her detective fiction featuring Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective, who is similar to Holmes in many respects. These protagonists are extensively responsible for the success and popularity of detective stories from the beginning of the 20th century. It is their personal characteristics, as well as the form of detective fiction that have attracted readers of all social classes and educational levels.
In my graduation thesis I will focus on demonstrating the personal characteristics of the protagonists of each of the famous series of stories to prove that the origin of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Hastings and Japp was to a large extent a possible consequence of Christie’s knowing and having studied Doyle’s Holmes, Watson and Lestrade. |
