This note sketches Prankster’s fall from reckless courage into erotic humiliation and psychic collapse.

It reads like a concise thematic outline for the longer sequence around him. The movement from bravery to loss of dignity is stark and intentionally brutal.

Short turning-point note - from the tragedy of the stack Prankster mounts a horse, but going over the hills falls into the sexual hell. From a mad bravery to complete madness of a sensual loss of dignity. Transition marker between two Prankster arcs.
