Talk:Irene Adler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] "adventuress"

From http://sherlockholmes.stanford.edu/ (download the pdf, look in the end notes) "Irene Adler resembles British actress Lily Langtry (1853-1925), who had an affair with the Prince of Wales. Other sources have been suggested for her character as well. Calling her an “adventuress” (meaning a “gold-digger”) is more than a little insulting."

I removed the speculation that she may have died from a (future) adventure since that is not what the word "adventuress" suggests.Bitethesilverbullet 14:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Is her wedding to Mr. Godfrey Norton actually valid, if the witness was there in a false identity? -FZ 00:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

"In "The Five Orange Pips", Holmes mentions that he has been beaten four times, three times by a man and once by a woman" Can anybody tell us who were the three people to beat Holmes and in which story?Sauron 10:11, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
