Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, had a complex relationship with his character. The more Holmes' fame and the public's love for him overwhelmed him, the more Doyle felt a deep hatred towards the fictional creature he had invented on paper to become more real than his author. He always felt that his other literary works, some of which he considered more important than Holmes, were not read because of the adventures of the most famous police detective. These internal conflicts prompted him to kill Sherlock Holmes. Doyle won a round, but Holmes won the war. #Aldaheeh Sources: Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes documentary • Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes ...
