Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of Rhinoceros with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco, which tells the story of a small town that is suffering from a ‘rhinoceritis’ epidemic. One by one, the inhabitants all turn into rhinoceroses until only one man remains, determined to fight for his humanity. It is often considered to be a response to the rise of communism, fascism and Nazism during the interwar period, although its definitive meaning has not been revealed. Many of Ionesco's works depict the solitude and insignificance of human existence, making for thought-provoking and controversial plays.
