HARRISON BERGERON

by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Analysis: In your own words, explain HOW the quote shows the theme in the story.

Do NOT use phrases like “I think” or “I believe.” Make your statements without these types of phrases.

One example of a quote that shows the theme in "Harrison Bergeron" is: "The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal." This quote demonstrates the theme of equality in the story by emphasizing that in this future society, everyone is forced to be equal through the use of handicaps and limitations imposed on individuals who are deemed to have superior abilities. The quote highlights the extreme measures taken by the government to achieve this forced equality, which ultimately leads to a loss of individuality and the suppression of exceptional talents.
