The way that Harrison and his 'empress' dance together without any of their restraints is a show of their freedom, to then be shot dead by the Handicapper General, robbing them of that freedom.
Hazel starts crying over something, that something being the death of her son most likely, but forgets about why exactly she was crying in the first place.
The examples shown are forms of Vonnegut's satire, be it subtle or very clear. The way that those who are much more intelligent or much more physically advanced are limited in the things that they can do, being weighed down or having something that shocks them to keep their minds in check. It causes them to act like those with average minds, forgetting things easily. The most notable satire within the story is how it shows characters who were given freedom being quickly killed so that it isn't shown anymore.
