For the Love of Irene

In the story “A Scandal in Bohemia” it became very obvious that Sherlock Holmes was in love with Irene Adler. Though, as Watson mention in the beginning, he simply refers to her as simply “the woman”. He tries to deny his love for Irene Adler because he does not wish to show his emotions to Watson so he hides it. She is very clever which makes Holmes desire her even more, as she fools him, giving him a note which gives him what he want: The case to end. This was not satisfying enough as he knew she was officially taken. When someone is in love with someone it saddens them to see them with someone else, not because they wish that the love of their life was unhappy but because it hurts to know you will be unable to hook up with them. I have only watched the first Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and not the others such as the one with Irene Adler, but I will try and watch it with my family once I get the chance.
