Final Idea and Focus

I repeated quite frequently that I would focus on the atmosphere that Dartmoor (The setting of The Hound of the Baskervilles) and thus make it evident that the Ghostly Dog in the story is really Black-Shuck, the frequently sighted Black Dog which inspired 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'

However as I read further and further, it is now evident that even though the Dog is the eponymous villain of the story and the seeming main character along with Sherlock Holmes, he is the result of the rivalry between two families, the Stapleton family who are his owners and the equally eponymous Baskerville Family

For those who have read the book, it opens with a prologue, one which reveals that one of the first Baskervilles, Sir Hugo became obsessed with the daughter of a farmer and one day kidnapped her and when she tried to escape, he pursued her, only to meet his end at the jaws of a Ghostly Dog while the girl apparently died of fright

It is not made evident in the text who the farmer or his daughter really are but I believe that they are an ancestor of the Stapleton Family and that because of this incident, they and then every generation of their family use every dog in their family as a tool involved in their (Introduced) practice of Devil Worshipping so that the Lord/Prince/King of Hell himself may posses the Dog (Reverts back to the concept of having the Dog as a brutalized pet of the Stapleton Family but still ties the Dog to the Supernatural) which would then wreak havoc on the Baskerville Family.

This should somehow be revealed by at least one of the Stapleton Family during the climax of my re-write

The colonialism would mainly be based on the fact that gradually with the Stapleton Family trying to upset the Baskerville Family more and more, it became their expression of interest to steal their wealth because it is evident that the Baskerville Family occupy a higher class than the Stapleton Family
