    In the short story “Harrison Bergeron,” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. writes about forced equality by the government through the use of technology. The government handicaps every individual in an attempt to achieve equality, but in reality the Handicapper General and her army are creating a larger gap between equality and inequality in society. The more average citizens were “burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked.” (Pg. 176) Beauty was hidden with hideous masks, intelligence was constrained with radio transmitters, and physical capabilities were limited with weights. All in an attempt to create equality among a whole society.…

    Aristotle once said “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” It is hard to try to picture a world where every human being is completely equal. A world where that every human being is forced by any means to has equal wealth, equal intelligence and equal physical beauty. Kurt Vonnegut’s Jr. wrote about such a world in his 1961 short story “Harrison Bergeron”. Vonnegut makes a good use of irony to show how creating absolute equality would require an absurdly oppressive society. Vonnegut uses the characterization of the Bergeron family members, Harrison, Hazel, and George to demonstrate how absolute equality destroys Individuality and also to show the two-facedness of that idealistic society and the danger of total…

    By crafting the dystopian message of ultimate equality in “Harrison Bergeron,” Vonnegut expresses his perspective on total equality; it is not an ideal concept. He does so by showing a possible consequences of total equality. In the narrative, the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendment was enacted— a set of rules that establishes full equality— all under the control of the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. To the Handicapper General, being equal didn’t only mean “before God and the law,” it also meant in “every which way” (Vonnegut 1). This meant that while everyone had the same rights, everyone’s abilities and characteristics were regulated.…

    The ideas surrounding utopian and dystopian societies are popular because people are very passionate about topics that can only be solved or dealt with in the future. One example of this is that people feel extremely passionate about total equality, but that can’t be achieved today due to sexism and racism in America. For example, both Harrison Bergeron and The Giver focus on humanity striving for ‘total equality,’ a topic that authors are highly passionate about. In the story Harrison Bergeron, the government uses handicaps to lower the qualities of above-average people to create equality. Likewise, in The Giver, everyone looks the same and the government has very strict laws to prevent inequalities. Both examples show total equality, a very…

    More than five years ago, a Mississippi court featured a case with a biased and racially bigoted jury (Washington). The defendant, Curtis Flowers, could not receive a fair trial as long as whites outnumbered African Americans on the jury. Aside from the fact that Curtis Flowers’ verdict was guilty, the case reveals the abundance of racism evident in courts. Throughout the second part of To Kill a Mockingbird, racism overshadows equality in the Tom Robinson Case. Many changes come about in Part Two including the following: Aunt Alexandra comes to live with the Finch family, and more importantly, the trial begins. Jem, Scout, and Dill learn the prejudiced and discriminating ways of Maycomb.Throughout the duration of the trial, various citizens of Maycomb testify including Heck Tate, Bob Ewell and his daughter Mayella,…

    Equality can be hard to define. In my opinion, equality is the state of being equal or having the same rights or social status. After reading the short story, "Harrison Bergeron", I concluded that this story is an inaccurate example of equality. The government forces citizens to wear handicaps to prevent anyone from being smarter, better looking, or more talented than anyone else. I strongly disagree with this. I think that this is taking away their rights. Citizens should be able to be themselves and express themselves in any way that they choose as long as it doesn't harm anyone around them.…

    “All men are created equal” these are the words of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson believed we should live in a world like this, but are we meant to live in a society where everyone is equal and normal? The ideas of egalitarianism can be dangerous if they are interpreted too literally. The agonizing and frustrating normal world in which “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. shows a civilization in which being normal is the only life style that people can live. Beauty is not beauty in this story; in fact it is the complete opposite. Can someone reach their full potential without feeling good about themselves? Is it possible to live life in a world like this? Potential, freedom, and beauty are all abominations in the society of “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., but they are all but abolished in this generation of “normal people” where being unique is deemed as illegal. No one is better, everyone is worse. But in a world where the extraordinary is outlawed, only the outlaws are extraordinary.…
