  • To make a connection between American society’s desire for equality and its fears of conformity.
  • To exaggerate the absurdity of the American vision of a utopian society in which everyone is equal.
  • To warn citizens of the dangers of government control through an imagined, futuristic society.

Harrison Bergeron is a satirical, dystopian science-fiction short story. It was written by American author Kurt Vonnegut and published in 1961. The story talks about a society in which the government regulates that everyone should be equal in beauty, brains and physical capacity. This forces the population to wear "handicaps." The satire warns against government control while criticizing society's obsessive quest for equality.

Please help!!!!!!! The Cherry Orchard is A Comedy in Four Acts. Anton Chekhov famously disagreed with the plays first director,
Juliette [100K]

Anton Chekhov conceived of this play, which turned out to be his last, as a comedy,designating it “A Comedy in Four Acts” and even emphasizing to the Moscow Art Theatre that the last act should be “merry and frivolous.”  He suggested that some portions were even farcical.  Nevertheless, most interpretations and theatrical productions have emphasized its tragic aspects. It is understandable why the playwright’s intentions have been largely disregarded; the subject is a serious and depressing one including the family’s loss of their ancestral home and removal from it and other sad developments as well.  The destruction of the orchard also represents the destruction of illusions—sad, to be sure, but perhaps hopeful.

 

Thus, as the inevitable change in society with the dawning of the 20th Century comes, the play represents this time period and portrays an end of an aristocratic era with both tragic and comic elements.  The play is best characterized as a tragicomedy.

In "The Most Dangerous Game," Sanger Rainsford says "I am a hunter, not a murderer" when he finds out that Zaroff hunts humans.
Luden [163]
Rainsford does not hold human life on the same level as animal life. For Rainsford hunting is a sport or a means to gain food, not a mere even to simply kill for the love of killing. 

Zaroff's ideas counter this in that Zaroff has progressed to the point where killing humans, the most intelligent beings, has become a sport to him. 

The bottom line is that the two men have different world views which influence their actions.
