The results were attributed to gender inequality because the double standard suggests that both men and women deserve reciprocal sexual satisfaction in relationships, ...

The concept of self has been viewed differently throughout the periods of cultural development. People always were trying to focus or omit the concept of their self personality and relationship with their self-esteem.

Canon Doyle’s version of characterization is entwined with social issues, especially with regards to relationships. The time and the context of Doyle’s stories gives a critical, yet contrasting relationship developed between male and female partners. Thus, the concept of sexually comes in, and Doyle is keen to express this concept through his stories involving Sherlock Holmes and his acquaintances. However, this concept would hold a different social paradigm in the modern society, as Sherlock’s nature would be interpreted otherwise. Asexuality is defined in Sherlock’s stories as lack of taste, mood, or interest in women and ...
