Harrison Bergeron Response

We try to make everybody equal in our society and that is what Vonnegut is satirizing. I think the story argues that it is better that everybody is not equal. Therefore, the theme of this story is equality.

Diana Moon Glampers is an unrealistic character. No one person is capable of controling the whole world. She would have been stopped by a rebel long before she gained absolute power.

This story is told through the eyes of George and Hazel's. It is more effective this way because Harrison is too crazy to be a likable main character.

What Karen and Charles Wood say is not true. Some people are just more capable them others. This is the way of life and there is no way of stopping it.
