Do you think the relationship between the two characters is portrayed equally in both transcripts? Are there any factors you believe influence this relationship?
I think in 'The Reichenbach Fall', the relationship is different because Moriarty mocks Sherlock and he seems to already know what the conclusion of the conversation is. Also, in 'A Game of Shadows', Sherlock wins the chess game. Sherlock and Moriarty are quite equally matched in relation to their intelligence, and you would suspect that neither of them would win. However, Sherlock wins the game, which suggests that the relationship between the two characters has shifted. The relationship between the two characters could be affected by the situation they are in. In both transcripts, One of the charcaters appears to already have second-guessed the outcome of events, therefore, they can afford to be a little out of character and mocking. Although the settings are different and the outcome is different, the relationship portrayed is quite similar. The two characters are familiar with each other and they each know what the other is thinking.
In the 'Reichenbach Fall' I think that they are equally matched, because despite Moriarty mocking and outwitting Sherlock in some of the transcript, Sherlock seems to understand Moriarty and can relate to him thus the relationship being based on respect for each others intelligence and wit. In 'A Game of Shadows' Sherlock seems to have outwitted Moriarty, as depicted by the chess game, but I still feel that their relationship is based on mutual respect for each other because they seem to be two men who are so brilliant and intelligent and seem to be on par with each other, thus the relationship being more of a convenience because they dont know anyone else like each other. The situation, the pressure and the experiences that they have already occured with each other could affect the relationship.
I think that the relationship is portrayed similarly in certain ways. It seems that Sherlock and Moriarty are not stereotypical enemies as its almost as if they have respect for each other. However, in 'The Reichenbach Fall' JM's mocking suggests that he is in control. The setting appears to have influenced this. He is aware he has the upper hand due to the situation, he knows what is going to happen. It is also possible that the audience of the show has affected the dialogue, such as the ironic use of 'staying alive' for humour.
The scene is portrayed differently in 'A Game of Shadows'. There still seems to be respect for each other, but it appears to more equal. The ratio of dialogue is balanced and unlike the other transcript there is no real interruptions.
