Control In Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron

In the story Harrison Bergeron which was written by “Kurt Vonnegut” And The story is about A man whose name is Harrison Bergeron who makes everyone think that everyone is equal, but actually he wants to feel that he is stronger and smarter than everyone else. He also controls people by putting chips/microchips into people’s ears but, later in the story something happens not expected at all.

Control can be a good and a bad thing.

In the story Harrison Bergeron a specific thing happens that takes a humongous toll in the story.

It was when when Harrison started the whole thing, and also when Diane killed Harrison and his fiancee.

“It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, The Handicapper General, came to the studio with a double- barreled shotgun. She fired twice,and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor” Why did the evidence have to with control? Well, Diana would not have killed Harrison and His Empress because, Harrison was controlling everyone to think their race was equal or the same.

But, How can control be good?

Well, It can considered “good” ? It is not shown that control is considered great, Control in this story is considered “Horrible” because Harrison ( The controller) is considering himself great but, yet he has no care in world about the people that he is controlling.

Yet, What is good control? Good control is when you have good leader who cares about their leader, and does what is needed . Which, this story does not

have.
Sometimes people think about themselves they become selfish
Selfishness is also produced in this story which is Harrison Bergeron, also that means it can be another Theme to this story.
According to the text which shows selfishness or love towards self. “I am the Emperor!”, cried Harrison. “ Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everyone must do what I say At once!” He stamped his foot and the studio shook”
This evidence shows that he thinks highly of himself.
But how does this show Selfishness? It shows a lot of selfishness in this story, because Most people or Leaders once they think highly of themselves they start to only think about themselves and only about himself,But not only that proves that he is selfish.
By him putting chips/microchips into everyone’s ears for him to convince them they are all equal/ same so, he can be greater than everyone and, that shows that he cares for only himself.╍
The general as known as Diane . also, shows selfishness in some ways .
Which she shows selfishness by killing the empress and the musicians who did not control or, even cause any ruckus. However, the general does what she thinks is right, not even thinking about anyone else.
“She fired Twice, and the Emperor and Empress were dead before they hit the floor”
She also told the musicians they had 10 seconds for them to get their handicaps on before they died .
“Diana Moon Glampers loaded the gun again, aiming it at the musicians and told them they had 10 seconds to get their handicaps on . “
This also tells us she is risking the musicians lives but, also not saying they are completely innocent or even ‘good’
This evidence shows ‘Selfishness’ by Diana Moon Glampers only thinking mostly about herself and why she killed the Empress and Risked the musicians lives.
Overall, what I learned about the story “ Harrison Bergeron” that it fits with today lives and news.
How society wants us to treat each other equally. Yet, again there is always a leader or president who wants control,and once some people get little of control, they also get to think of themselves a bit too highly like Harrison Bergeron.
