Page "Alfred Jarry" Paragraph 3
from
Wikipedia
At the lycée in Rennes when he was 15, he led of a group of boys who devoted much time and energy to poking fun at their well-meaning, but obese and incompetent physics teacher, a man named Hébert.
Jarry and classmate Henri Morin wrote a play they called Les Polonais and performed it with marionettes in the home of one of their friends.
The main character, Père Heb, was a blunderer with a huge belly ; three teeth ( one of stone, one of iron, and one of wood ); a single, retractable ear ; and a misshapen body.
In Jarry's later work Ubu Roi, Père Heb would develop into Ubu, one of the most monstrous and astonishing characters in French literature.
