In this world every person in a room is better at something than anyone no matter what it may be. In “Harrison Bergeron” a dictator with the name of Diana Moon Glampers is in control of the world. To make everyone the same by giving people handicaps like putting in a small radio in people’s ear and every 20 seconds if they are smarter than others. In this Irony the world is equal and all is suppose to be fair but Diana Moon Glampers is not handicapped everyone else in the world cannot
think about with the handicaps. Is the world a better place equal?
With handicaps we are all the same expect for Harrison Bergeron. Harrison is a beast that is in a cage that might as well be open. The handicaps that he was given were so powerful that a gorilla would have trouble getting the off weights and he was so smart that he needed mega sized headphones so that no thoughts could pass. But Harrison was so powerful nothing even of that power could stop him. Harrison’s parents were watching ballerinas on T.V dance when Harrison came on the T.V and said "I shall now select my Empress! Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne!" The strongest and the smartest ballerina stood she was also the most beautiful ballerina. The Emperor and the Empress were dancing when Diana Moon Glampers walked in with a double barrel ten gauge shotgun and fired they both died before they hit the floor. Miss Bergeron watches the tragic death of her son but yet she cried then minutes late she knew nothing and Mister Bergeron miss the whole event to grab a beer. Missing the death of his son and not ever been able to hear about it from the mother of his child/wife is as tragic as the death.
In this Irony is it better to have nobody be better at anything than anyone or is it better to be great. In a way if we can’t be better than we can’t be free. In a world without freedom is living worth anything if you are all the same and you are under a dictator with no chance of freedom by yourself. So even being better at something is a form of freedom.
