Re: Characters you can only see as one sexuality?

The funny thing about "A Scandal in Bohemia" is that I tend to see the story from Irene's perspective where, as the story starts, she's already in love with another man and marries him and Holmes is like a speedbump in her life. So, when people talk about a "thing" between Holmes and Adler, it kind of stops me short and I'm like "Oh... yeah, that was probably reeeally one-sided..." I kind of enjoy picturing Holmes sitting around brooding (whether it's romantic pining or professional frustration, I don't care) while Irene is off somewhere not giving a shit. Of course, I'm just talking about ACD canon here, not Sherlock or any other adaptation.

I can certainly see ACD Holmes as making exceptions. The tricky thing is the Victorian context and where sexual orientation ends and societal expectations begin. I can also see Holmes thinking "A wife would totally cramp my style, so no sex for me." but I generally come down on the side of he's-just-not-iterested-at-all.
