Anglistika osakondProfessor James Moriarty from Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes short stories has remained a popular research topic for years now, even though his appearance in those stories was quite brief. This popularity, however, has not been extended to his adaptations variants, meaning that there is a clear lack of an overview on how his character can be interpreted. This thesis focuses on the Japanese animation Moriarty the Patriot, an adaptation that stands out for its decision to put the focus of the story on Moriarty. The aim being to see how the adaptation has modified his motivations and the plotline of the short story The Final Problem when compared to the source material. The thesis consists of an introduction, a literature review, an analysis of the character and a conclusion. The introduction provides the background context for the thesis. The literature review provides a brief overview on the genre of adaptations and studies done into both Sherlock Holmes adaptations and Moriarty’s character. It also provides a brief overview of reviews on Moriarty the Patriot. The analysis section covers how Moriarty the Patriot works with the concept of adaptations, followed by a comparative analysis into Moriarty’s character and the adaptation of the short story The Final Problem. The conclusion provides a summary of the main findings of the thesis.
