What message does Kurt Vonnegut convey through the satire "Harrison Bergeron"?
The satire makes us <u>question ourselves </u>about the convenience of <u>social equality</u> and how far society is willing to go in order to achieve it. Vonnegut points out that <u>we should not seek for total equality</u> in a society, because our differences are what actually makes us strive for more and <u>keep us from getting stuck in mediocrity. </u>
How do the characters develop this message?
This message can be perceived when the main character, Harrison Bergeron, <u>rebels against the government</u> of the Handicapper General by using his intelligence, appearance and strength. He does this in national television to <u>encourage people</u> to do the same.
