What message do the characters develop this message during “Harrison Bergeron”

English

Answer:

When Kurt Vonnegut writes his short story "Harrison Bergeron", the hidden message concerns the dangers of total equality.

In Vonnegut's America, the Government decided to amend the Constitution, so that all citizens are entirely equal in all aspects of life.

Citizens are forced to wear mechanisms that prevent physically and intellectually talented people from reaching their full potentials.

In Vonnegut's description of America, citizens who are either gifted or attractive, suffer consequences because of their condition. Individuality has been completely suppressed.

Harrison Bergeron is forced to wear weights, an ugly mask, and huge headphones just to make him equal to other citizens. When he escapes from prison, he tries to overthrow the Government; this makes the reader excited and hopeful. However, when Diana Moon Glampers ends Harrison's life, the reader gets a pessimistic feeling towards the concept of equality.
