Comparison of 'The Speckled Band' and 'The Landlady'
In some ways these two short stories are alike but at the same time totally different. 'The Speckled Band' written by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle and 'The Landlady' written by Roald Dahl.
FRAME
'The Speckled Band' was another adventure of one the most well known detectives Sherlock Holmes and was set in April of '83. The short story
begins with a frame. This is to set the story apart from the other Sherlock Holmes mysteries and it also helps to show the reader that it is unlike the others too.
'The Landlady' doesn't need a frame because all of Roald Dahls' stories are different, they have different plots and different characters so most of his stories can be called singular.
The frame starts with an exposition where something out of the ordinary transpires
i.e.
In 'The Landlady' there is a sign saying BED AND BREAKFAST which seems to have strange effect on Billy Weaver.
