    Metaphors In Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron

    In “Harrison Bergeron,” individuals are expected to conform to society. People are downplayed and anticipated to meet the lowest standards of society. For example, no one is smarter, better looking, stronger, or quicker than anybody else (1554). If an individual is deemed not average, then they are given a handicap. The protagonist in Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” is considered dangerous and a threat to the government. He bears heavier handicaps than everybody else in his society. He wears big earphones, glasses with thick wavy lenses, and scrap metal that hangs all over him. At the end of the short story, Harrison strips himself of all his handicaps. By stripping himself of his handicaps, Harrison is breaking the chains of his government and defying the laws.…

    Analysis Of Harrison Bergeron

    The story, Harrison Bergeron, was written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and published in October, 1961. Harrison Bergeron was written in 3rd person omniscient, but the narrator does not know everything about anybody. The author states, “ “Yup,” said George. He tried to think a little about the ballerinas.” This quote is saying what George is thinking. Another example is after Harrison and the ballerina got shot by Diana Moon Glampers and then the television tube burned out. Kurt says “Hazel turned to comment about the blackout to George. But George had gone out into the kitchen for a can of beer.” This means that the narrator knows what Hazel was going to do, but decided not to. The last example is when George started thinking about his 14 year old…

    Harrison Bergeron Forced Equality Analysis

    In Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, we are presented a world where the crusade for social equality sends society into a dystopia of forced ignorance and stunted abilities. In America, equality means that all aspects of our culture are uniform; you should be treated the same regardless of your religious, racial, or societal background. I do not believe absolute equality is a right. Being treated equally and being treated respectfully are used interchangeably today in our culture. Americans campaign for our “equal” rights; gay rights, women’s rights, working rights, but in actuality, we don’t want to be accepted as the same. For example, a woman would like to be treated fairly and receive the same salary as…

    Equality and the main character are both rebels in their society, which brands them as somebody to punish. The community Ayn Rand has built promotes the birth of collectivism and the death of individualism. For example, Equality is not allowed to use the word “I” and has never been introduced to the concept of “himself.” The consequences of discovering that he is a separate…

    Examination Day and Harrison Bergeron

    The short stories "Examination Day" by Henry Seslar and "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, both examine the idea of a world where governments have total control over its citizens. The main characters in the stories are Dickie Jordan and Harrison Bergeron. In "Examination Day" discrimination against intelligence is portrayed through Dickie who is eliminated because his "intelligence quotient [was] above the Government regulation." This quote depicts the governments authority in its society and how the government eradicated the people who questioned them through an intelligence exam. The irony of this examination is that success was seen as negative. Whereas, "Harrison Bergeron" explores the theme of forced equality in American society in the not so distant future. Right in the introduction, the three main issues concerned throughout the story are given, " Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution." Thus, absolute equality in intelligence, physical beauty, and athleticism have been ratified into law by the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, respectively. Both stories share a conflict in regards to person versus society and both the protagonists die at the end. In "Examination Day" Dickie is on his own when it comes to the test given by the government. Before the test when Dickie asks his father what the test is for, his father tells him"the Government wants to know how smart [Dickie] is." Later on, the story ends with an automated message from the government with the reason for his death and preferred funeral arrangements. In "Harrison Bergeron" Harrison knew better than to follow government regulations and tried to make a difference. In the end, he was killed as "Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper…
