In the same vein, Ionesco also took major issue with Jean-Paul Sartre, whom he accused of supporting Communism and actively ignoring the atrocities committed by Communist governments, just as characters like Dudard support the rhinoceroses while ignoring the damage and the violence they carry out. Scholars have noted that the rhinos turning green can be read as a symbolic representation of the green Nazi uniforms, while the argument over whether the rhinoceroses are Asian or not reflects Nazi propaganda claiming that Jewish people were interlopers from Asia-while the rhinoceroses themselves function as commentary on the idea of an Aryan “master race” that, Ionesco suggests, is violent but powerfully appealing to people unwilling to interrogate what joining in actually means on a moral level. Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco: A Critical Analysis July 2015 Authors: Manu Mangattu Abstract Le Rhinoceros is the only play by Ionesco that makes an unequivocal statement. Plus qu'une farce tragique, 'Rhinocros' est un plaidoyer pour la libert. The play was included in Martin Esslin s study of post-war avant-garde drama The Theatre of the Absurd, although scholars have also rejected this label as too interpretatively narrow. Des symptmes aux effets secondaires du virus, Ionesco met en garde les hommes contre leur folie et procde un double rquisitoire, celui de la politique et de l'ordre tabli du thtre classique. Ionesco was studying at a university in Romania when the Iron Guard was coming to power, and unlike some fascist movements, the Iron Guard’s main hold was in universities. Rhinoceros ( French: Rhinocéros) is a play by Eugène Ionesco, written in 1959. Rhinoceros was inspired primarily by Ionesco’s experience of World War II and specifically, the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany and the Iron Guard in Romania.
