Vonnegut The Ideology Of Equality Summary
The central theme in which is portrayed in this short story is the ideology of corrupted equality. I find it funny how Vonnegut took something as broad as a societal standard and that his interpretation almost seems less totalitarianistic than it does precedingly accurate. In my personal opinion, this is just one potential outcome due to problems that play true to our everyday lives. Not per say in the conventional sense and style that Vonnegut meant it however. The perspective I am seeing this from is that equality can be obtained but at what cost? If everyone is treated the same, and if everybody is forced to be the same, that is when it starts to fall apart. You can tell a fish to climb a tree all you want but it doesn't mean it will do
