The condition considered most dangerous by George and Hazel Bergeron in "Harrison Bergeron" is oppression.
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, George and Hazel Bergeron view the condition of oppression as the most dangerous. In this dystopian society, everyone is required to be equal, and anyone who is above average in any way is forced to wear handicap devices to level the playing field. George and Hazel, despite having different levels of intelligence, are both burdened by these devices. However, George recognizes the oppressive nature of this condition more than Hazel, as he is able to critically think about the injustice and limitations it imposes on individuals.
