Unknown Story
Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- . 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 handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter.
- "My God-" said George, "that must be Harrison!" The realization was blasted from his mind instantly by the sound of an automobile collision in his head
- When George could open his eyes again, the photograph of Harrison was gone. A living, breathing Harrison filled the screen.
- "Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen," she said in a grackle squawk, "has just escaped from jail,where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. He is a genius and anathlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous."
- "I am the Emperor!" cried Harrison. "Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what Isay at once!" He stamped his foot and the studio shook. "I shall now select my Empress!" he said, looking down on the cowering people. "Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne!"
- A moment passed, and then a ballerina arose, swaying like a willow.
- It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.
- "Yup," she said."What about?" he said."I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television."
- George came back in with the beer, paused while a handicap signal shook him up. And then he sat down again. "You been crying" he said to Hazel.
- In the Story "Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut makes multiple points about society and government using satire. In this story, society is being controlled by the government with handicap radios. Harrison Bergeron opposes this in the most meaningless way possible by making a scene and then getting himself killed with no one to even remember his extremely brief rebellion. The story establishes that everyone is "equal which way", which had people throughout the story purposefully dancing around to keep this "equality". The tyranny of the government has gone so far that they control civilians' very thoughts and literally weigh down civilians. It seems George and Hazel don't want to oppose the government because of their reliance on them and their belief that they need these radical and tyrannical laws to keep them out of the "dark ages". Kurt Vonnegut really leaned into the satirical aspect later in the story as gravity itself just disappeared and they oddly kiss the ceiling, However it reels back in at the end when a mother and father lose their son in front of their very eyes and pretty much immediately forget it. The book overall is a strong satire piece on oppressive government, censorship, and the reality of total equality being unrealistic.
