Reddit mentions of Rhinoceros and Other Plays

Another extremely unnerving look at creeping fascism is Ionesco's Rhinoceros (https://www.amazon.com/Rhinoceros-Other-Plays-Eugene-Ionesco/dp/0802130984) (or scribd), which focuses more on finding that the people you loved and trusted or just bought your coffee from are turning into…well, rhinoceroses. But they're metaphorical rhinoceroses.

>Jean: You always see the black side of everything. It obviously gave him great pleasure to turn into a rhinoceros. There’s nothing extraordinary in that […] After all, rhinoceroses are living creatures the same as us; they’ve got as much right to live as we have!

>Berenger: As long as they don’t destroy ours in the process. You must admit the difference in mentality.
