Moriarty (simile)

"He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans.”

When Sherlock explains to Watson the powers which Moriarty wields over London, he uses the simile of a spider in the centre of a web. Moriarty is the centre of the crime web of London, controlling and benefiting off many of the smaller crimes committed by those in his hire. Although he himself never leaves his 'web' to commit crimes, Sherlock believes that Moriarty is one of the most powerful and dangerous figures in England and that he has the power to stop him.

Animals (simile)

"He bellowed like a bull and rushed for the door"

"Cringed alone at my companions side like a dog with its master"

Characters are often referred to casually as being like various animals in order for Doyle to explain their actions and mannerisms to the reader. The two examples show both the raging and docile side of this usage as the two characters react to Holmes in their own way.

A fire in a snow storm

"The sight of it was to me like a fire in a snow-storm"

This simile is used to express the joy of a prisoner in seeing a man who was calm and happy in his situation in jail. Surrounded by gloom and sadness left the speaker in a metaphorical snowstorm, yet his neighbouring prisoner, who later helps him escape but turns out to be cruel and murderous, is all warmth and fiery to him.
