Abstract | Mystery fiction, also known as detective fiction or crime fiction, is a literary genre that revolves around solving a puzzle or mystery often related to the criminal events. It typically features a central mystery, such as murder, theft, or other mysterious circumstances, that serves as the driving force of the narrative. This research delves into the comparative approaches adopted by two celebrated mystery writers, Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, in their literary works. With a specific focus on their iconic detectives, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple, respectively, the study thoroughly analyzes various aspects of their storytelling techniques. By closely examining their works, the research sheds light on the distinct writing styles, plot structures, characterizations, and thematic elements employed by each author. This exploration provides valuable insights into the individual contributions of Doyle and Christie to the mystery fiction genre. Furthermore, the study explores the influence of historical context on the development of their characters and intricately woven mysteries. It unravels how societal and cultural factors impacted their narratives, adding depth to the characters and their adventures. The findings of this comparative analysis not only offer a deeper appreciation of the enduring appeal of Holmes and Miss Marple as fictional detectives but also demonstrate the broader impact of Doyle and Christie on the landscape of detective literature. |
