The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story

Holmes often operates within a gray area of morality, and this story really highlights that tension. I wonder what influenced Doyle to explore this aspect so deeply here.

Holmes's tactics here felt more aggressive than usual, which made me question whether his pursuit of justice crosses a line sometimes. What are others' thoughts on his approach?

Milverton's character seems to embody certain societal fears about privacy and power. I wonder if Doyle was commenting on those issues of his time.
