The purpose of handicaps in the story is to set equality but it is not right that some are wearing less and some are wearing more handicaps.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut proposes that complete equality isn't a perfect worth taking a stab at, the same number of individuals accept, yet a mixed up objective that is hazardous in both execution and result. To accomplish physical and mental fairness among all Americans, the administration in Vonnegut's story torments its residents.

In Harrison Bergerson the reason for the handicaps is to set up a counterfeit feeling of equity, while in all actuality, they maintain the individuals from exploiting their normal gifts and capacities.

According to the concepts advocated in "Harrison Bergeron", it is right that some people have more disadvantages than others. This is because it is in disadvantages that people are able to seek improvements in their lives, developing extraordinary skills and talents that would never be developed if everyone had an easy life full of advantages. This is able to establish sameness among individuals, because some get advantages in life without any work, while others also get these advantages, but through great work and dedication.

If our society were applied to disadvantages, everyone would be encouraged to seek to work within their limitations, to overcome them and achieve advantages for their life as a form of reward. However, a society applied to advantages encourages the population to conform to the little and not advance in personal development.

He asked Harry if he knew what “powdered root of asphodel” and “infusion of wormwood” make together. Harry said he didn’t know and snape was like “clearly fame isn’t everything.” So he basically asked him a question he knew harry wouldn’t know to embarrass him.
