I once asked Holmes about his motivations, for the average man does not delight in mystery they way he does. The average man waits for the pulp of the yellow press to give him details and they never looked further, never asked questions.
Holmes thrived on details, he asks questions, and he searches. It is in his nature to follow a problem from one end to another, not resting until each knot is untied and each twist straightened. He has chosen to study in scarlet, for of all the threads of life it is the longest and the most twisted.
"There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colorless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."
- Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet
