IdeologyAn ideology is an idea, not personal or individual, but an idea shared by a group or culture about how society should function. Ideology is a “worldview,” a system of values, beliefs, or attitudes that is held to be true or important. The dominant ideologies that we live by or leave to rest in our daily lives are repeatedly told to us by important institutions such as education, the church, the law and even the media. We often don't question these beliefs, this stops people from rebelling against them and also maintains a sense of stability in society. Ideology is a form of analysis that can be applied to almost any text, print or visual. About Sherlock Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, became popular in his time and remained popular. Values, customs and worldview speak of ideology, of models of ideas. To become popular. The ideology must be something that a broad audience wants to read about, which for most people means it is a shared ideology. And Sherlock Holmes has been adapted into a new TV series once again. A theoretical quote from Stephen Knight: “…the detective novel not only creates an idea (or a hope, or a dream) about crime control, but it realizes and validates an entire worldview, shared by the people who are become the central audience...” (Knight, S. (1980) Form and Ideology in Crime Fiction pt-2). In “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” we can find repetitive patterns in the villains and heroes. The detective consulted not only by regular police but also by members of international royal families and local businessmen, accessible to all people, views the cases as a means of distraction rather than a way to make money. Crime and violence Watson is the man of respectable character, the reliable married man, the doctor... in the center of the card ......olmes as an extraordinary violinist and music enthusiast, who attends the shows. In later adaptations Holmes' violin playing is mentioned in the context of the wee hours and occasionally depicted as an annoying habit. Emotions In the novel Watson says of Holmes that "an emotion in Holmes would be like sand in a fine instrument." However in Guy Richie's latest film about Sherlock Holmes and also in the BBC adaptation Watson demonstrates quite the effect of emotions on his friend. It may be a desire of modern audiences to see more of the human side of Sherlock Holmes, who is sometimes compared to the modern “robocop” by the media, to make him more appealing to the society that values emotions. Even though he ultimately puts emotion aside and solves the problem/case rationally, he returns to logic and science, proving that in a way, reason trumps everything.
