I won't pretend to be keeping up on emails, but I will offer a few
comments anyhow. It strikes me as odd that to find "normal" reasons for
Seymour to have commmitted suicide, or even normally abnormal (i.e. he
wasn't all there anymore) reasons. Seymour is not really a normal person,
or perhaps a real person. To find such mundane reasons for him to have
done himself in seems akin to using pop psychology to figure out why
Buddha was so Buddhalike. I think Seymour just went about his life, met a
women, lived through a war, and then found himself standing on a diving
board above an empty pool.
