More Allusion The allusion of Diana Moon, the Handicapper General’s first and middle names, refers to the Roman goddess of the hunt, Diana, who is associated with the moon. Diana was known for her vengeance, which could explain the ruthless killing of Harrison Bergeron in the story.
The Dangers of Big Government: “Harrison Bergeron” explore the dangers of giving government too much authority. Irony: The irony is obvious–dancers who can’t dance, announcers who can’t speak, smart people who can’t think. Everyone has an articificial handicap, except for the Handicapper General who enforces the laws.Jan 17, 2022
The tone in “Harrison Bergeron” is casual, sarcastic, and even irreverent. Vonnegut tells us that everyone is “finally equal” in 2081. Yet, no one has figured out a way to control or affect the weather. The author’s candid and sarcastic tone reflects his disdain for the United States’ misguided campaign of equality.Dec 18, 2021
