Rather than compare the story of Harrison Bergeron to that of some old Shakespearean play as I had originally intended, I decided to discuss how it's built upon the themes presented in its predecessor The Lottery. Harrison Bergeron, a giant with capacities far beyond that of normal capability, a rebel, is no different than that of Tessie as mall married woman. You see the commonality they share is they are outspoken about their community’s beliefs. Harrison is doing as Tessie had done and arguing against the unfairness of the system he is subjected to. Harrison Bergeron similar to The Lottery explores a dystopian society that is run by mob rule. Oppression is normal and the practices are cruel and both present the theme that equality is fabricated
