Aristotle once said‚ “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” In Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron‚” the government attempts to create equality between all individuals‚ and unfortunately‚ propitiously succeeds. The equality laws state that all of mankind must be identical to each other in terms of appearance and knowledge. Intelligent beings are handicapped with a monitor in their ear which emits caustic sounds every twenty seconds or so‚ to wreck their train of thought
