First, we all wondering where does the title came from. It's not really accurate with the scenes in the play. I do some research about where does the title really came from and it's history.
According to legend (we're not sure if this is true), the actual title came into being during a rehearsal when the actor playing the Fire Chief flubbed a line. He was supposed to say "une institutrice blonde" (a blond schoolteacher), but instead said, "une cantatrice chauve" (a bald soprano). We're guessing Ionesco thought this mess-up was awesome. Not only did he add a line as a result, he even named the play after it.
It's kind of weird right? First, I didn't get the logic. Imagine where does the story really came from. It's hard for me to understand as well. But in my part I did some research so I can easily understand the story. From the word Absurds means it is make no sense at all. Mr. and Mrs. Reyes are seated like the Santos at the beginning of the play. The play begins again with Reyes, who say exactly the same lines as the Santos in the first scene. This weird and wonderful ending touches on many of the play's major themes. For one, it's the final twist in a play in which we've seen one "version of reality"after another.
