This study investigates how the tone of conversation varies according to diverse relationships of the main character Alan in translating English playwright Peter Shaffer's Equus . In particular, when translating literary texts, translators should recognize literary features like characterization, structure and theme. Also, there can be found differences according to the relationship between characters, age & gender and social status. Also how a translator has figured it out and embodied it in a translation depends on the level of translators’ understanding or mediation. In comparison with TT1 and TT2, changes of Alan’s honorific expressions are differently revealed according to his relationships with others. Its translational style of his honorific is different according to each translator. Therefore, the role of the translator is important in the realization of these points especially in the translation of plays. With thorough analysis of the work, the transliteration should reflect the characters’ specific speech styles and their psychological changes with a view to relationships between characters.
