Does Kurt Vonnegut like the society he describes in "Harrison Bergeron?"

does not
like the United States in 2081 as he has created it in "." While describing the
society in a seemingly matter-of-fact manner, the author's short, dumbed-down sentences in the
first paragraph show he is scornful of the society he depicts. After readers have read how
dim-witted Hazel is, Vonnegut writes, "Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong
resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon Glampers." This sentence
shows Vonnegut does not think highly of the H-G since he has compared her to the intellectually
"average" Hazel. The satirical humor the author uses, especially in the aimless,
unfinished, or confused dialogue between Hazel and George, shows how the society's handicapping
creates citizens who cannot think. When the author describes Harrison's dance with the
ballerina, the mood changes to one of hope and joy, and the author's language takes on much more
energy and awe. This shows the author approves of people being relieved of their
equality-producing handicaps. By ending the story with a hackneyed joke--"You can say that
again"--the author shows how much this society lacks creativity and
originality.
