QCQ#2
“Holmes disregarded the outstretched hand and looked at him with a face of granite. Milverton’s smile broadened” (2). This quote stood out to me because of how the narrator juxtaposes Holmes and Milverton. The defamiliarzation that comes from comparing a “face” with “granite,” helps readers understand the contrast between Holmes’s expression and “Milverston’s smile.” Why does the narrator choose to tell readers about this specific interaction? Would critics consider this narrator to be reliable? Why or why not?
