Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco is a seminal work of absurdist theater that examines the themes of conformity, culture and morality. The play unfolds in a small town where the inhabitants, one by one, begin turning into rhinoceroses. As the metamorphosis becomes widespread, the protagonist, Berenger, grapples with the phenomenon, struggling to maintain his individuality and humanity amidst the growing pressure to conform. The narrative escalates into a profound commentary on the dangers of collective behavior and the strength required to stand alone.
