His defiant profession of faith in humanity is farcical rather than heroic, showing that individuality in an indifferent universe can be as futile as conformity. At one point, Berenger even longs for the hard green armor of the beasts, but it is too late to change. He proclaims "I am a monster! I am a monster!" and goes on to make his defiant defense of humanity. Only a performance that makes clear the ambivalence of Berenger's final stance can do full justice to the play...
