Is it possible that the narrative of genetic mutation within a family line has the elements of a Greek tragedy? Much like the dramatic art-form originated from hymns in praise of Dionysus - god of fertility, wine and ecstasy, it raises the core questions of human existence, questions of suffering, of fate, family, (hubris?) and punishment.
From the fatal flaw, the irreversible horrible deed that has unintentionally impaired the loved one, evoking both horror and compassion from the crowd, the revelation or recognition, leading to helpless suffering and ending in a predetermined, predictable disaster.
