Rhinoceros is not an allegory. Few readers are likely to agree at the outset with this assertion, because for most interpreters of the play, starting with its author, Eugene lonesco, Rhinoceros is indeed allegorical—or at least broadly symbolic. The meaning of the drama must be explained in dualistic terms, so the argument goes: good versus evil, Berenger against the world, humanity refusing to succumb to the grotesque epidemic of rhinoceritis, the individual—flawed but admirably courageous—celebrating selfhood in defiance of conformism or totalitarianism, language holding its own in the face of rampant noncommunication.

In the field of autoexegesis Eugene lonesco has few peers for prolixity. Unless he has been deliberately mystifying us, his assessment of the import of Rhinoceros is clear. Having described Denis de Rougemont's 1938 encounter with Nazi mass hysteria in Nuremberg, Ionesco claims that Rhinoceros, possibly having this incident as its point of departure, is "sans doute une piece antinazie" but also—especially—a play "contre les hysteries collectives et les epidemies qui se cachent sous le couvert de la raison et des idees...." The work is, he contends, the rather objective description "d'un processus de fanatisation, de la naissance d'un totalitarisme qui grandit, se propage, conquiert, transforme un monde ..." (G. Richard Danner)
