Abstract
This paper discusses that even though Equus and Hedda Gabler seem to be different in so many ways, it much more important for readers to note that they are similar in significant ways. On the surface similarities between the plays seem scarce. The paper goes on to discuss how glaring differences between the two pieces are obvious particularly the era and the style of each play. Equus is written in the seventies, the frank tone conventionalized words of that era and the references to sexuality and curse terms indicate that the play is relatively recent.

From the Paper
"The cold feeling was even emphasized by the actors. The actor that played Alan several times in the show wrapped his arms tightly against his body and rubbed them, like people do when they are cold. Alan's father Frank Strang did a very good job seeming impersonal and distant to all of the other actors he encountered. The actors over all did a fairly good job, although in the beginning they did drop several lines. I was impressed at how well the actors in the horse costumes portrayed real horses. A horse tends to be moving a lot but with only subtle movements, and the actors did just that. It was also a great idea, in my opinion, to have cast come out of the audience because it in essence, bring the audience into the show. "

From the Paper
"The play "Equus" by Peter Shaffer deals with what Grant has called "the forces of reason against ecstacy". The character Alan Strang is a young boy who yearns for the sexual and spiritual ecstacy that he associates with horses. However, Alan is repressed and forced to fit into a rational society which is represented by his father, his mother, and the psychiatrist Dysart. The father, Frank Strang, is opposed to organized religion; nevertheless, he himself is a symbol of the authoritarian aspects of organized religion in that he demands blind obedience from his son. The mother, Dora Strang, represents the emotional aspects of organized religion. As such, she inadvertently teaches Alan to identify with the sufferings of Christ. The character of the psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, reflects the conflict between ecstacy and rationality by being ... "

Abstract
This paper is a comparison and an analysis of psychiatrists and psychologists using the characters from "House of Games" and "Equus" to examine their purpose in society. The paper uses these two plays to examine the two doctors' relationships with their patients, society, and eventually, each other.
From the paper:
"Ford and Dysart both suffer from a crisis of purpose, which allows the reader or audience to see through the facade of their reconstructed identities. Over the course of the plays Ford and Dysart are seeking their purpose by searching for inner fulfillment or simply a personal understanding with themselves. The plays are crafted to allow the audience to watch these important moments which comment so heavily upon society, by creating similar situations where the role of psychiatrist and subject are reversed and everyone is put on the crux of a breakdown. Dysart breaks down when he is confronted with the reality that he needs to treat Allen."

Abstract
Analysis of David Mamet's "OLEANNA" and Peter Shaffer's "EQUUS." Compares both as examples of a tragic fall, and as modern man's struggle to find meaning and purpose in present-day society. How their actions and events push leading characters of both plays over the edge; their fall from grace.
From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of two strong figures in contemporary American drama, both professional men who are faced with situations that cause them to question their choices and confront their weaknesses. John, in David Mamet=s Oleanna, is a college professor whose smug superiority is shaken by his encounter with a female student. Martin Dysart, in Peter Shaffer=s Equus, is a child psychiatrist who has already begun to doubt his powers when he takes on the case of a teenaged boy accused of a horrible crime. Both provide interesting examples of a tragic fall as outlined by a master playwright, and the contrasts between these two figures hold a mirror to modern man=s struggle to find meaning and purpose in present-day society.
Oleanna (1992) begins with an exchange between a college professor, John, and one of his students, Carol. He has given her a ..."
