Can you personally define the conceptions of normality?" (p. A strange thought has just entered my mind. He is the one to start the conflict because he feels endangered by the animals. Berenger is actually the only one who feels some kind of tension. It seems that they just want to live normally, without problems. Deep inside, they are good and they don't mean any harm. Thinking about the conflict they face, the rhinos are not the ones that should be blamed for it. He stands against the group of rhinoceroses, whose behavior has probably no motivation at all. Obviously, Berenger is the protagonist and his primary motivation is to save the human kind. I'd like to describe these two roles as they appear at the end of the play, as their conflict is most visible there. What I am trying to say is that I admire Ionesco and his motivations, but I cannot praise the way the book is written. Thus, it is only natural that we had to read the play. Of course, we were supposed to take the role of a producer. I believe it is only the producer who should read it and make it worth watching. Drama is here to be acted on stage, not to be read for entertainment. However, I have never read a nicely written drama. Doesn't is also spoil your joy from reading, when you know the ending? Well, if the book is nicely written, it doesn't. However, since I have read everything about the masterpiece before reading the masterpiece itself, I wasn't that overwhelmed when I was finally reading it. The play has given me numerous questions that entertained my mind and soul. I was delighted to think about the aspects of human behavior, the complicated nature of human mind, the almighty group pressure and the definitions of normality. When I firstly read about the plot of the play, I fell in love with the idea of people changing into rhinoceroses.
