articulation of analysis and a/the fall, in both GR
and Vineland (and ... and ...) ...

And, of course, in general, capital-T Tragedy involves
not only a fall, but a fall from a height sufficient
to render it capital-T Tragic. (The question posed
by/about Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, is Willy
Lohman's fall "Tragic"?  What are the possibilities
of/for Tragedy these days?)  Hector mythologizing his
fall, himself, as properly Tragic?  Let me know ...
