Characters


So first thing to do is set up which character represents which.
  • House is, obviously, Holmes. Holmes and Homes are homophones and a House is certainly a type of Home.
  • In a friendly, emotional way, Wilson is Watson: House's only friend, who lectures about his health and pays for his food.
  • However, in a purely professional way, House's team (Cameron, Chase, Foreman, Thirteen, Taub, Kutner) is Watson: they are there to provide okay hypothesis so that he can find a great one.
  • I like to think the team is his Irregulars, though, cause its cuter.
  • Cuddy is Lestrade, or Scotland Yard in general. She always wants to do things the conventional way, she is as close to authority as House has.
  • Actually, the whole hospital is sort of Scotland Yard in that it does things the normal way and need the aid of House to use his unconventional methods to solve the cases that stump them. In fact, I have always thought that part of what makes Holmes so successful is that he can do the unconventional and not get held up with bureaucracy and the need for warrants. The same goes for House: the hospital lets him do whatever he wants because that freedom, combined with his genius, allows him to do the things that no other doctor can.
That's just about everyone!
