The caring refusenik demands a lucid reckoning with grey zones of moral and political duplicity, usually obscured by 'grands récits' of reconciliation. This paper deflects this accusation and, building on feminist theory, advances the notion of caring refusal, one motivated by a commitment to and care for the plurivocality of the collective hermeneutical space where political memory is forged. Reconciliation refuseniks are considered 'spoilers' of the effort to mobilise compassion in the wake of systemic political violence. He saves his self-identity while others are losing theirs, though it is very hard. Almost all the characters, cattle-like, follow the bad norm, but Berenger refuses to surrender and embrace the transformation since he believes that it is better to change the essence not the form. They take new forms and risk man values and features hoping that they can find a meaning for their lives, but they fail. This study shows that humanity is in danger and also clarifies that human beings are fed up with being humans.

They admire their new form and are happy with it as if being an animal was better than being a man in the current status. On the contrary, they go out and some of them happily receive it, like Daisy. The characters know the conversion is epidemic yet they do not resist it. Their change is not to return to their pure origin as human beings but to become a dangerous beast. The characters, except Berenger, become rhinoceroses they lose their subjective identity one after another. Unfortunately, the metamorphosis or the ego death in Ionesco’s Rhinoceros is mostly negative. In this case, mind will become a tabula rasa and the persons can design a beautiful future on it. This transformation of the psych is crucial for human beings to rebuild their lives if the ego death is positive. It simply means that the person improves his/her past life and makes radical changes in it as if he was born again he goes from one stage to another to start life anew. Abstract In Jungian Psychology, Ego death is known as psychic death.
