thanks dan, but what DID happen to seymour during his life- did he have some sort of a mental breakdown (well, thats sort of evident) and why was he so unhappy? I understand the idea that one can get themselves into a situation, but become so "fat" with all the responsibilities and consequences of their actions that they can't get out the same way that they slid in, but Seymour- or whoever- did make the choices- whatever they were, were they so terrible that he would kill himself?- and by the way, what was with that whole "If you want to look at my feet you don't have to lie about it" thing?
