Paltry[edit]
for such an iportant work it's rather a paltry article. I'll try to fill it out when I get a chance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.178.23.240 (talk • contribs) 18:03, 8 August 2005
- Well, no worries now. It reads like a book and has probably 3 times as many words as the play itself. Way too much info.
Green rhinoceroses[edit]
Having just watched a performance of this, can anyone explain something I found odd in it, and is repeated here: why does people's skin turn green when transformation happens? Rhinoceroses aren't green... EJBH (talk) 22:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Yes, in Ionesco the rhinoceroses are green (not grey, as this article claims). I was puzzled too. My personal hypothesis is that green is a definitely non-human colour. Turning green is a very clear mark of dehumanization. Ionesco's task is to disturb the audience, for which green is just the thing.188.123.240.127 (talk) 21:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
It is because the Iron Guard wore green uniforms and because green was the color the French associated the Germans with during the occupation. --A.S. Brown (talk) 08:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Background and Meaning section needs work[edit]
Tagged as possible OR since February, and essentially all sourced to one book (which admittedly I don't have access to). I feel kind of bad saying this because I can tell someone worked hard on the section, but to me, it seems full of original research. Could somebody help condense this?
