''When a character goes through one or two of those, that's okay. However, as a writer, would you add EVERYTHING out of those above to a hero(ine) of yours? Isn't it a bit TOO much at a point?''

The oddest thing is that you'd think that that kind of overkill was intended to set the scene for some kind of redemption, and used as a mitigating factor to not so much excuse the character's wrongdoing but to present them in a more sympathetic light and to make it more palatable when they're accepted back to the side of the designated heroes.
