Arthur Doyle had troubled relationships rooted in his image as a renowned author. The author would start relationships that often put him on a pedestal because he was the creator of Sherlock Holmes. He tried to live up to that image, but, as any human would, he'd make a mistake. Remaining on that pedestal was an unattainable goal, and people were disappointed an accomplished man was an imperfect person. After a time, whenever Doyle failed to live up to expectations, he became frustrated and disillusioned. Doyle would try to hide his mistakes, and that effort took time away from responsibilities and necessary commitments, which would lead to further errors. The cycle was exhausting. Studies are available for anyone looking to explore that process.
Put in bold because current Marvel considers shock jockeying satisfying writing. If Gwen Stacy has flaws, I give them three years or one writer swap before she's the evil EX.
