Where Frank was an atheist, Dora was a fervent Christian who taught Alan that Jesus was crucified due to the sins of mankind; in this moment, the theme of suffering for meaningful worship manifests in Alan’s obsessive love for Equus. To become a worthy adherent, Alan actively inflicts suffering on himself in the name of Equus. One night, Frank discovers Alan flagellating himself with a coat hanger, yet Frank cannot confront his son and leaves Alan feeling embarrassed (I 13 47).
