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

English
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago
3 0

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.

What conclusion can readers draw about Charlie based on his description of taking the Rorschach test?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

On March 4th, when Charlie took the Rorschach Test, he was supposed to view the images of the inkblots and freely imagine what he saw in them. But Charlie only saw the inkblots for what they were: blobs of ink. Even when Burt tells him to imagine, to pretend, to look for something there in the card, Charlie can't. He struggles to give a true description of the cards, pointing out how one was "a very nice pictur of ink with pritty points all around the eges," but again, this isn't the response that the psychologist is looking for.

Like ambiguously shaped clouds in which people "see" images of people and animals, the inkblots have enough random, busy shapes on them for people to interpret them as many different things--people, animals, scenes, conflicts, and so on. The idea is that the psychologist will pay attention to what a person thinks he or she sees in the inkblots, which is supposed to provide insight on what that person thinks and feels overall.

As a result of Charlie's inability to properly take this test, he worries that he's failed and that he won't be a candidate for the treatment to increase his intelligence. And while he gets frustrated with himself during the test, and while Burt seems to get almost angry--as evinced when his pencil point breaks--I wouldn't say that Charlie is angry in this situation.

But what this scene does reveal about his character is that perhaps he's already smarter than we expect. By insisting on seeing the inkblots for what they really are, and by failing to imagine scenes and images that are false or skewed, Charlie shows that he's not just honest but scrupulous. This early evidence of his good character foreshadows the upcoming conflicts he has with the men at the bakery as well as the researchers themselves, who are less scrupulous.
