  • In the story, Kurt Vonnegut explores an extreme scenario in which total equality is seemingly accomplished. The government prohibits any outstanding qualities or abilities to ensure that everyone is always equal and uncompetitive. The story clearly references the United States' efforts to ensure equality for all of its citizens. In this satire, Vonnegut questions how far society will go to accomplish complete equality. When the H-G men fail to handicap Harrison he breaks free and declares himself emperor. This is indicative of the present fear of an outstanding individual. The story ends with the Handicap General, representing the strict government, killing Harrison, the free and unique individual. His parents, handicapped by the government, give no special reaction to watching their son die. Through the imagery, Vonnegut insinuates that forced total equality would result in a drab, and restraining society.
