Nothing so unnatural: A Case of Identity discussion
Sep 02, 2021•51 min•Season 1Ep. 35
Episode description
Mistaken identity, evil stepfathers, and the importance of a good optician. “A Case of Identity” (from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) has a plot fit for a Shakespeare play - without the narrative satisfaction. In this surprisingly sinister armchair detective story, we discuss skeevy men, Peter Pan, Watson's eye for color and the complicated undercurrent of misogyny running beneath the narrative.
Content warning: This episode some spectacularly weird and mean-spirited lies directed at a young woman, and some classic Doylish misogyny.
