Alfred Jarry, "eccentric to the point of mania and lucid to the point of hallucination", became the focal point of both outrage and awe during the riot which accompanied the 1896 opening of Ubu Roi , his obscene play based on and starring Pere Ubu, a malicious characterization of his pigheaded high school mathematics teacher turned politician, Felix-Federic Hebert. Through Pere Ubu Jarry discovered the "science of 'Pataphysics" and attributed it to a new personage, Dr. Faustroll, a calm and collected science fiction style adventurer in Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician. In the variety of novels, poems, dramas, and speculative texts that make up Jarry's bibliography, he continued to find new ways to elaborate and apply his 'Pataphysics. Demonstrating that literature was not the extent of its application, Jarry himself began to emulate the ugly Pere Ubu. This particular behavior included drinking, hallucinating, shouting orders and cuss-words at friends, refering to himself in the third-person, and threatening pedestrians with pistols. It was the drinking that he died of on All Saint's Day, 1907. His other works include, Supermale, Visits of Love, and Ceasar Antichrist.
