Description The actual experience of a man's death by drowning is construed in various ways, but the constructions put upon it (such as the madman's claim that the dead youth is the first victim of invaders from outer space) are used to reflect idiosyncracies of attitude among the observers, rather than attempts to understand the event itself.
