Do you feel that Harrison Bergeron acted heroically by going against the rules of the society?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
One could argue that Harrison DID act heroically because he was so intelligent as evidenced by his many handicaps, especially the ones that would cause noise to disrupt his thoughts and weights to stop his strength. Since he was able to escape and because he was able to take off all his handicaps, it shows that he must've understood the consequences of declaring himself emperor on national television. He didn't gather weapons or assemble an army. Instead he chose to dance and made it extremely easy for the government to find him. He had to know that the Handicapper General would kill him to protect their society. Since he chose to defy the rules of society and live, briefly, free of their constraints, it is easy to see why someone may consider Harrison to be a hero. Choosing to die free of the constraints of his society is very heroic.
On the other hand, one could also argue that it wasn't heroic at all, since he did NOT escape with a plan to help other people, including his parents, who were subject to the terrible laws and handicaps set on them by the government. A truly heroic person would have thought of other people, too, and not just himself. We know that Harrison is the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent person there is because he has such heavy and ugly handicaps. Someone who has so many gifts SHOULD help other people. In most definitions of the word, a hero is someone who sacrifices part or all of him or herself to help other people. Harrison did not help anybody except the ballerina with whom he danced, and that caused her death, too.

The plot of Antigone incorporates various elements of tragedy. Through which character does Sophocles primarily develop the elem
Nana76 [90]

I would say Creon.


Hubris refers to excessive pride and self-confidence, which Creon exhibits in abundance. He put himself above gods, and his own civil laws above religious laws, which sparked the entire tragedy in this play. If it weren't for his hubris, then Antigone wouldn't have had to fight for her brother's righteous funeral, and everybody would still be alive. But then this wouldn't be a famous tragedy.
