Here it goes again Equus: by Peter Schaffer Dr. Dysart's monologue cutting "All right! I'll take it away! He'll be delievered from his madness. What then? He'll fell himself acceptable? What then. Do you really think that feelings can be reattached, like plasters? Stuck on to some other object we select? Look at him! My desire might be to make this boy an ardent husband, a caring citizen, a worshipper of an abstract and unifying god. My achievement, however, is more likely to make a ghost. Let me tell you exactly what I'm going to do to him. I'll heal the rash on his body. I'll erase the welts cut into his mind by flying manes. And when that's through, I'll put him on a nice mini scooter and send him puttering off into the Normal world where animals are treated properly: made extinct, forced into servitude, tethered all their lives on dim chains- just to feed it! I'll give him the good old Normal world where we're tethered there beside them blinking our nights over cathode rays over our shriveling heads. I'll take away his field of HaHa and give him Normal places for his ecstasy - multi lane highways cutting through the guts of cities, extinguishing place altogether- even the idea of place. Hopefully, he'll come to feel nothing at his fork but approved flesh. I doubt, however, with much passion. Passion, you see, can be destroyed by a doctor. It cannot be created." here it goes again another pointless wound to mend melodrama, over sensitive what sort of life is that to live and yet maybe it's more than just overreacting Maybe who i am isnt me just acting maybe im not trying to manipulate maybe im not trying to insinuate maybe im not the evil fucker you make me out to be Maybe you can get the fuck away from me. I'm sorry though. I didn't want it to be like this. Calm down. Start over. Burn it alive and let it grow again. Like the phoenix, let be reborn. I don't want it to have to be this way. |
