Step-by-step explanation:
Harrison Bergeron" is a science fiction, dystopian short story that was written by author Kurt Vonnegut, and it was first published in 1961. The story is set in the year 2081, when the U.S Constitution, through several Amendments has ordered that all citizens must be alike, all must have the same abilities, physical aspects, and capabilitie as the others, thus reaching absolute, and real, equality. In order to achieve this, the government takes steps to ensure that no one is more beautiful, better physically endowed, or better prepared, than the others. However, Harrison, son of George and Hazel Bergeron, has been born athletic, beautiful, tall and very intelligent, and he refuses to adapt to society´s impositions, for which he is taken to prison. When Harrison gets out of jail, he goes to a T.V station where he takes over for a moment and declares himself Emperor, and a ballerina, his Empress. He takes off his handicaps and those of the ballerina, and in this excerpt, he tries to take control of the stituation, take over power, and show the world that it is BECAUSE of his superior circumstances that he can have the power. This is a clear intent by Harrison to rebel against what has been the standard until then, oppose it and show that his superior conditions make him the best, and most appropriate, to rule.
