Rhinoceros is a play by playwright Eugène Ionesco, written in 1959. It mainly describes how people lose their personalities and degenerate into rhinoceroses under the absolute dominance of objects. When rhinoceroses first appear in life, people are deeply surprised and either talk about it endlessly or ignore it indifferently. Once the trend of rhinoceros-worship becomes popular, followers come in droves. This abnormal mutation actually makes Berenger become more clear-headed. He struggles andresists, refusing to go with the flow.
