Harrison Bergeron
Testo Storyboard
- The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the Law. They were equal in every which way.
- Some things about living still weren't quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime.
- Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts.
- And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental radio handicap in his ear.
- George and Hazel were watching television. There were tears on Hazel's cheeks but she'd forgotten for the moment what they were about.
- On the television screen were ballerinas.
- Screams and barking cries of consternation came from the television set. The photograph of Harrison Bergeron on the screen jumped again and again, as though dancing to the tune of an earthquake.
- Vonnegut uses this story to ridicule the idea of total equality and to make fun of wasted time spent watching television. Individuals cannot develop and use their respective gifts but must be forced by the government to hide beauty and strength and to suppress intellect and reasoning. Vonnegut shows how this idea makes people miserable and gives the government too much power. TV is also shown in this story to be powerful and controlling and not a good use of time.
