Comparing and Contrasting Seneca’s Hercules Furens with Euripides’ Hippolytus

Of the Greek tragedians, Seneca’s works seem most close to Euripides, in tone, plot, form, structure, and theme. But they are just as dissimilar in these myriad ways. Write an essay in which you compare and contrast Seneca’s Hercules Furens with Euripides’ Hippolytus, as a mini-study of the ways Greek and Roman tragedies are related but are also distinctly their own. Consider the ways both playwrights ponder solutions to larger questions about the human experience, how they both develop their characters, make use of the chorus, structure their plots, and deploy rich imagery.
