This document contains discussion questions about the play Equus by Peter Shaffer. The questions examine how the play questions modern society's definitions of normality, redefines the concept of worship in a way that challenges tradition, explores the role of dreams in the story and psychology in shaping the drama, and analyzes the importance of commercial jingles recited by the main character and what they reveal about his mental state and modern psyche. Additional questions consider the role of parenting and authority figures in contributing to the main character's issues and what the play says about these concepts overall.
