Romantic hero Auguste Dupin as a pioneer

Nevertheless that a lot of years have passed from the time when the detective Dupin was created, he remains today one of the most-beloved and popular detective character. And in the Edgar Poe’s story and the real life this crime had not been finished up to the end. And at night he and his friend walked, arm in arm, round Paris and continued the topics of the day. He read, wrote or conversed with his friend, until warned by the clock of the advent of the true Darkness. Dupin had specified only the basic version that the police had found the most authentic. The researches of English writer Michael Harrison defined that Dupin had been named (and his image is partly based on) in honour of French aristocrat F.

The most important strains of Dupin’s character were his observation and ability to draw conclusions on the basis of the analysis of his supervision and remarks.

In " The Mystery of Marie Roget “ Dupin has appeared in a role of the first in a genre of an "armchair" detective. The second cause is that Edgar Poe’s three short stories about him, which do not exceed more than one hundred pages, had been written when the detective genre did not exist yet. That’s why we can explain that Poe called him “ Monsieur” only in the first story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, but “Chevalier” in the next two stories " The Mystery of Marie Roget “ and "The Purloined Letter ".

Undoubtedly, the image of Auguste Dupin had been created by Edgar Poe because of the influence of memoirs of Francois Vidocq. The first cause is that he is the first character who has brilliant detective abilities and using them for unearthing the mystery of different crimes. At the first dawn of the morning he closed all the massy shutters of his old building and lighted a couple of tapers that strongly perfumed. He shows his tricks and comments them.
