Detectives
Fictional and real detectives may seem similar at first glance, but when you look closely, there are clear differences in their work, characterization, and methods of investigation. Let’s take a look at the differences between detectives in mystery novels and real detectives.여탐정대구흥신소
A mystery is a story organized around a crime or event, so it’s a genre where the reader enjoys following the clues to uncover the truth about the culprit, which can make them feel like a hero. It’s also all about creating logical deductions and puzzles in the middle of the story, like a mystery.
Real detectives literally work in a realistic way. They work to solve cases from real clients rather than heroism. First of all, we conduct a detailed consultation to solve the mystery of the case, and check the detailed items such as target identification, scope of work, agent introduction, and proceed with the work.
People-centric and event-centric
Mystery novels are mostly character-driven and information-driven. It tells the story of how a detective discovers the truth of a crime through logical deduction and puzzle-solving.
Mystery novels are fun for readers because they create and provide elements for them to analyze and deduce for themselves. Readers become engaged as they follow the flow of the story, making judgments and deductions about events.
But real detectives are case-driven. The information you receive from your client may be the key to solving the case, and you’ll conduct a variety of investigative searches, analyzing information, and more.
The focus is more on the inner world and judgment process of the detective than on the images shown, and they use their powers of observation, human insight, and behavior to solve cases.
Characteristics of mystery novels
- Logical: The development of the story is logical.
- Clue reveal: adds a bit of sneaky fun and keeps readers guessing
- Reversal: A strong reversal is hidden in the overall context.
Characteristics of a real detective
- Personality: We value the personality of the private investigator.
- Solution: Informed and not trying to be funny.
- Ethical resolution: Resolve the case within the legal framework.
The stories of Sherlock Holmes, a famous detective novel, were strongly case-centered in the early works, but as the series progressed, the stories became more character-centered. This is why the character of Sherlock Holmes is still a famous detective novel character and remains in the memory of readers today.
In the real world, private investigators are driven by real crimes, not the tastes of their readers, and they use their intuition, reasoning, and common sense to stop crimes and uncover the truth, rather than heroism.
Conclusion
Unlike novels, which offer the reader the pleasure of solving the puzzle of a case, real-life detectives are lonely and boring, but solving a case can be rewarding and valuable to the reader.
