<span>The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.</span>

To me, I believe these lines represent the different forms and tasks of slavery/slaves in America. The slaves in the country were asking about the black berries, like the harvesters on fields that were in the ocean, where they thought life would be better. The slave, equally as distraught asked them about the dark ships, which I believe are slave ships, in the country. This to me showed that they thought there was a better way of life for them available at the time, but truly every black man and woman was struggling with whatever task was put upon them.

Vonnegut used television to reinforce a theme within the text, because: By broadcasting the deaths of Harrison and the ballerina, television is used to ensure conformity and control the citizens. This shows the dangers of "total equality" as violence is used to ensure equality.

<h3>What is the theme of Harrison Bergeron?</h3>

"Harrison Bergeron," which was written by Kurt Vonnegut showed an American society where citizens were made to conform to the dictates of society. Harrison rebelled and danced at a televised program.

He was, however, killed by Diana and this was seen by the viewers. The broadcast of the death shows that rebellion will not be tolerated. This will instill fear in the viewers.
