Is Harrison Bergeron Truly Equal?

In the story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I believe that not everyone in the story was truly equal.I think they weren't all equal because everyone had different handicaps placed on them for different reasons.The text stated,”Nobody had ever been born with heavier handicaps.”this shows that Harrison was punished more and given harsher handicaps than everyone else.The author wrote that,”Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence…”this shows that she would not be faced with any handicaps at all.The text also stated that “They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked..” This proves that the ballerinas were given several handicaps which took away from their beauty,talent, and gracefulness.To conclude,I
believe they were not all equal because everyone was punished and given different handicaps based on their abilities.They weren't equal because they were given and forced to suffer through different forms of handicaps
