If the volume contained only "The Rhinoceros" and "The King Dies", I would have hesitated whether to give it four or five stars.

However, the other three pieces seriously reduce the level of the book.

"The Rhinoceros" is a thought-provoking work that explores themes such as conformity and the loss of individuality.

"The King Dies" is also an interesting piece that delves into the nature of power and mortality.

Unfortunately, the remaining three works do not measure up to the same standard.

They lack the depth and originality of the first two, and seem rather平淡无奇.

Overall, while the book has its亮点, the inclusion of the weaker pieces drags it down and prevents it from achieving a higher rating.

I'll be honest.

I remember diddly-squat about this play. It's quite embarrassing really.

Apparently I said it was three stars though.

So, I will pretend that is completely accurate. Maybe there were some redeeming qualities about the play that I have forgotten.

Perhaps there was a great performance by one of the actors or an interesting plot twist.

But for now, all I have is that three-star rating.

I guess I'll just have to take my word for it and assume that it was an average play.

It's a shame I can't remember more, as it would be nice to be able to give a more detailed and accurate review.

Oh well, such is life.

Maybe I'll see the play again someday and be able to form a more informed opinion.

Oh my goodness! This story is just insanely humorous! It's like a wild ride through a land of absurdity. The characters are so wacky and their actions are completely off the wall. You can't help but laugh out loud at every turn.

There's this one scene where a guy tries to catch a fly with a pair of chopsticks. I mean, seriously? Who does that? But he's so determined, and the way he chases that fly around the room is just hilarious.

This article is definitely a must-read for anyone who loves a good laugh. It'll have you rolling on the floor in stitches from start to finish. So go ahead and give it a read, and prepare to have your funny bone tickled like never before!

So Silly

Sometimes, we do things that are just so silly. We make choices without thinking them through, or we act on impulse and later regret it. It's as if our brains take a vacation and we lose all sense of rationality. But you know what? It's okay to be silly sometimes. It's a part of being human. We all make mistakes and do things that might seem a little crazy. In fact, some of the best memories and experiences come from those moments when we let go of our inhibitions and just have fun. So the next time you find yourself doing something silly, don't be too hard on yourself. Laugh it off and embrace the moment. Because life is too short to be serious all the time. Let's be a little silly and enjoy the ride!

Bald Soprano is truly brilliant, deserving a full 5 stars. It stands out as a remarkable piece of work. However, the rest of the works are modernist experiments that simply do not resonate with me at all. Nevertheless, I do have a great deal of respect for the guts, imagination, and the ability to attempt them. These qualities are not to be underestimated. Even though these experiments may not have been successful in my eyes, they represent the courage and creativity of the artists. It is important to recognize and appreciate the efforts that go into such endeavors, as they contribute to the evolution and diversity of art. We should not simply dismiss them because they do not conform to our personal tastes. Instead, we should strive to understand and learn from them.

I read The Bald Soprano for a class and was quite disappointed to discover that I don't have a taste for absurdist pieces.

The play seemed to lack a coherent plot or any real meaning that I could grasp. The characters' dialogues were often random and nonsensical, which made it difficult for me to engage with the story.

I found myself constantly confused and frustrated, wondering what the author was trying to achieve. Maybe I'm just not the right audience for this type of theater, but I couldn't help but feel that it was a waste of my time.

Despite my negative experience, I can appreciate that some people might enjoy the unique style and creativity of absurdist plays. However, for me, it's just not something that I would choose to read or watch again.

I'll stick to more traditional forms of literature and drama that offer a more straightforward and satisfying experience.

Read “The Chairs” for class. This short story offers a unique and thought-provoking experience. It presents a simple yet profound concept that makes us reflect on various aspects of life. The story might seem straightforward at first glance, but as we delve deeper, we discover hidden meanings and subtleties. It could be about the importance of communication, the power of silence, or the significance of the spaces we occupy. By reading “The Chairs” for class, we have the opportunity to engage in discussions with our peers and teacher, sharing our interpretations and insights. This not only enhances our understanding of the story but also broadens our perspective. We can analyze the characters, the setting, and the plot, and try to figure out what the author is trying to convey. Overall, reading “The Chairs” for class is an enriching and educational activity that allows us to explore the world of literature and gain a deeper appreciation for the written word.

I had to read this for theater regarding absurdism.

At first glance, it was definitely absurd, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud with "ahahahhaha".

The concept of absurdism in theater often presents situations and characters that seem illogical and脱离现实. It challenges our traditional understanding of what is normal and rational.

However, overall, my reaction was rather "meh". Maybe it was because I didn't fully grasp the deeper meaning or significance behind the absurdity.

Or perhaps it was just that this particular piece didn't resonate with me on a personal level.

Nonetheless, it did make me think about the different ways in which theater can explore and express various ideas and emotions.

Maybe with further study and exploration, I will come to appreciate the beauty and value of absurdism in theater more fully.

I read "The Bald Soprano" (La Cantatrice chauve).

This play by Eugène Ionesco is a fascinating and thought-provoking work.

The story unfolds in a seemingly ordinary and yet absurd setting, filled with strange characters and dialogues that seem to make no sense at first.

As I delved deeper into the play, I began to realize the underlying themes and messages that Ionesco was trying to convey.

The play challenges our perception of reality, language, and communication.

It makes us question the conventions and norms that we take for granted in our daily lives.

The characters in the play often repeat themselves, speak incoherently, and engage in meaningless conversations, highlighting the breakdown of communication in modern society.

"The Bald Soprano" is a unique and powerful piece of theater that leaves a lasting impression on the reader.

It forces us to look at the world around us in a new and different way.

The bald singer... It really made me angry how absurd it is. DQLKD and so much more, but at the beginning, I actually laughed, to be honest.

This situation is quite strange. On one hand, the absurdity of it all is enough to make one's blood boil. The actions and words of the bald singer seem completely out of place and make no sense.

On the other hand, there was something about it that was so ridiculous that it initially elicited a laugh. Maybe it was the unexpectedness of it all or the way in which it was presented.

However, as time went on, the anger started to set in. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how inappropriate and unacceptable the whole thing was. It's times like these that make me question why people do such absurd things.

In the end, I was left with a mix of emotions - anger, frustration, and a bit of confusion. I just hope that in the future, people will think twice before doing something so absurd that it causes others to feel this way.

There is a particular direction within sociology known as framing theory. As one of its originators, E. Goffman, put it, "a perception is reference-dependent." This means that for the most part of our lives, we exist in an unconscious state. We don't consciously track, despite being fixed, all of our actions and instead follow an algorithm inherent to a specific situation.

Just observe how people manage not to collide when crossing a crosswalk or queuing up to withdraw money from an ATM. Why am I discussing this here? Eugene Ionesco is merely a writer and playwright who endeavors to undermine the perception of life that is ingrained in us. He acts like a lunatic and plays with such common things for us, making us see the funny and ridiculous, the ugly and caricatured, the empty and pointless. When reading or watching his plays in the theater, you sometimes feel so lonely and helpless in a world overloaded with information and all kinds of unnecessary trash, both physical and 'intangible.' In Ionesco's view, the problem lies in our conformism, in the passive and unconditional perception of this very reality, our isolation from ourselves, from our origins, and from nature. It is quite painful to realize. However, the theater of the absurd has always flourished in the most challenging epochal periods of our history, both in the Dark Ages and in our own time. Especially in our time. The disease must be treated, or at least the diagnosis must be established - and that is precisely where the genius Eugene Ionesco excels or even extends in his plays such as The Bald Soprano, Rhinoceros, The Chairs, and so on.

For me, he is one of the greatest names among the absurdists, on a par with Camus, Sartre, Joyce, Kafka, Vonnegut, Platonov, and others, but in some respects, he even surpasses them by an order of magnitude. Most likely, The Bald Soprano will greatly perplex you because it questions what is one of the defining factors of us as who we are - communication, communication as a set of certain clichés, and even casts more doubt on the possibility of communication between people as a fundamental and determining factor of our life. As a result, read Ionesco and attempt to understand this work, and then the reading will bring you incomparable pleasure and most likely motivate you to view the world and yourself from a slightly different angle than you are accustomed to. And then it will be unforgettable, intriguing, and fun. I guarantee it.
