Storyboard Text

  • 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.
  • Maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped...
  • SCREECH!
  • I wish I knew what I was crying about.
  • She had to apologize at once for her voice, which was a very unfair voice for a woman to use. Her voice was a warm, luminous, timeless melody. Excuse me- she said, and she began again, making her voice absolutely uncompetitive.
  • He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.
  • And then, in an explosion of joy and grace, into the air they sprang! Not only were the laws of the land abandoned, but the law of gravity and the laws of motion as well. They reeled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun. They leaped like deer on the moon.
  • We will show the world the meaning of the word dance.
  • Free.

  • Gee - I could tell that one was a doozy.
  • Gee - I could tell that one was a doozy.
  • In his story Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut makes the point that a society's obsession with total equality can become the downfall of individuality and self expression. His exaggerated story touches on how the total pursuit of a good thing can become distorted and corrupted to the point of hindering what makes the human race human. Harrison Bergeron’s exaggerated presence represents a person’s individuality and free spirit going against what society tells him or her to be. Vonnegut also uses Harrison to show how resistant and non conformative people are often shot down (in Harrisons case literally) by the popular majority. Vonnegut illustrates how equality is a good belief though it becomes harmful when it overrules other aspects of personal freedom and expression. In his story everyone is brought down to an average norm in an attempt to make the human race equal. They succeeded in making everyone equal, though equality was achieved by turning the world numb and stripping the unique or gifted of their passion and talent. Kurt Vonnegut’s story is not only humorous but is also thought provoking and laced with a warning regarding how seeking good can easily become a negative extreme.
