“Harrison Burgeron”
Текст на Статията
- In his story "Harrison Bergeron "Kurt Vonnegut points out that it is not ideal to strive for total equality. As Vonnegut narrates, the government tortures its citizens as they are forced to be equal. From the first scene, the country seems to make a lot of progress, and the author fantasizes about everyone being equal before the law and God. Therefore the people have the same power, smartness, and quickness to get things done. In scene two, H-G men are seen to take Harrison, a fourteen-year-old boy of Hazel Bergeron, away. Scene three depicts ballerinas dancing in the studio, and when two of them collapse to the studio floor while they hold their temples becomes a doozy, as Hazel describes it. Scene four is characterized by George creating mental pictures of the world falling apart when he imagines people starting to cheat on laws. It happens when Hazel attempts to persuade him to take out a few lead balls from the handicap bag padlocked around his neck. He then explains to her that taking it off is like returning to the dark ages considering it is 2081 when no one was competing with anyone due to amendments in the constitution. Finally, scene five depicts Harrison escaping from jail and heading to the studio. He feels he is the emperor and chooses his empress. Together they dance with the other ballerinas whereby the land laws seem to be abandoned as they hit the studio ceiling, which is thirty feet high, moments before the emperor and empress are short dead.
