Part A: The correct answer is first statement. The major
theme of “Harrison Bergeron” written by Kurt Vonnegut is that close-minded
people are a threat to beauty, individuality, and self-expression. In this short
story, Kurt wanted to present that total equality isn’t always good by creating

characteristics. Those who represent individualism are being handicapped by Handicapper

make everyone equal, Vonnegut is directing reader’s attention on the concept of
dystopian society to show how cruel it can be on those with “extraordinary
characteristics”. Close-minded people feel inferior to individualists and by
trying to be equal to them they treat their beauty, intelligence and strength,
instead of trying to achieve more.
