The hero in Ionesco’s drama is the sympathetic Monsieur Bérenger, who also starred in the author’s previous work ‘Tueur sans gages’ and who in this play is put through many weird incidents. He lives in a small village where the inhabitants are transformed into rhinoceroses by undergoing some unexplainable processes. Undoubtedly, the author has a much deeper, philosophical meaning behind his fantastic work, though he leaves it up to the audience to figure out for themselves.
