![]() ![]() Like most works of The Theatre of the Absurd, Rhinoceros explores issues of chaos while it manages to arrive at a clear message about that chaos. It further combines whimsical humor with unsettling tragedy to question human nature at the most fundamental level. Its plot is not traditional but theoretical, featuring philosophical conversations and questions throughout. Its imaginative scope is both broad and wild: people grow horns, sprout fur, and become rhinoceroses. In other ways, Rhinoceros typifies Ionesco's work and, more generally, the Theatre of the Absurd. If fascism makes rhinos, how much better are the alternatives after all? Beyond this symbol of the effects of fascism, critics have understood the play as part of the post-World War II body of literature that questions the motivations not only of war but of life itself. More than any of his other plays, in Rhinoceros Ionesco uses a specific symbol in a central, clear, and compelling way. In 1973, a film adaptation, starring Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, won critical acclaim as well.įirst produced at the Odeon and directed by Jean-Louis Barrault, Rhinoceros imagines fascism as a disease that turns humans into unintelligent, violent creatures-rhinoceroses. Though he had written several plays by Rhinoceros in 1959, the English translation of the play caught both public and critical attention around the world. Rhinoceros catapulted Ionesco's career to an international level. ![]()

The water filled the swirling tracks to form the mighty bending rivers spread across the vast plains of the Gulf country. The sea water following in the serpent’s wake, swarming in a frenzy of tidal waves, soon changed colour from ocean blue to the yellow of mud. Picture the creative serpent, scoring deep into-scouring down through-the slippery underground of the mudflats, leaving in its wake the thunder of tunnels collapsing to form deep sunken valleys. It came down those billions of years ago, to crawl on its heavy belly, all around the wet clay soils in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Looking down at the serpent’s wet body, glistening from the ancient sunlight, long before man was a creature who could contemplate the next moment in time. It moved graciously-if you had been watching with the eyes of a bird hovering in the sky far above the ground. The ancestral serpent, a creature larger than storm clouds, came down from the stars, laden with its own creative enormity. ![]() ![]() LITTLE GIRLS WHO COME BACK HOME AFTER CHURCH ON SUNDAY, WHO LOOK AROUND THEMSELVES AT THE HUMAN FALLOUT AND ANNOUNCE MATTER-OF-FACTLY, ARMAGEDDON BEGINS HERE. ![]() ![]() CALLING INNOCENT LITTLE BLACK GIRLS FROM A DISTANT COMMUNITY WHERE THE WHITE DOVE BEARING AN OLIVE BRANCH NEVER LANDS.

Her big brother Ben was always in trouble at school – which wasn’t fair, because all the teachers either thought that meant Olivia was naughty too, or that she ought to have stopped him. “Something awful, as usual,” Olivia muttered, as they ran across the playground to see what was going on. “What have Ben and Rob done now?” her friend Lucie asked. Mrs Mackintosh sounded as if she’d yelled right in Olivia’s ear, even though she was on the other side of the playground. “Ben Williams and Rob Ford!

When some of the body parts are discovered, they have to deal not only with the police asking questions, but also with some shadier characters including the nightclub owner that the police are convinced committed the crime. To do this she recruits Yoshie, a diligent and overworked widow working to look after her bedridden mother-in-law, and Kuniko, a feckless woman with more debts than she could ever hope to pay off. Terrified of being caught, she confides in the closest thing she has to a friend at work, Masako, who unexpectedly agrees to help get rid of the body.
