Use Of Satire In Harrison Bergeron

Decent Essays
In Harrison Bergeron, author Kurt Vonnegut, uses Irony to support the satire which mocks the theme of equality. In this dystopian world everyone is the same and if one is different in one way they must wear handicaps. For example, one of high intellect must wear a transmitter that sends a massive noise to the user every time few seconds so they cant think more than they have too or must and one who is pretty than another must wear a mask that actually makes them uglier than the average person like the ballerinas. Evidence of this is found where George is thinking that dancers shouldn't have handicaps but is interrupted by the noise and how the ballerinas wear hideous masks so they have to be extremely beautiful. These things will never be

    Looking at Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbs, I would argue it is a modern version of Juvenal satire in terms of both being able to criticize everyone while still claiming any reader or listener as an informed audience. Each of Watterson’s comics presents a specific attitude or trend in individuals which is directly criticized by Calvin and or Hobbs much the same way Juvenal went around blatantly confronting individuals during his time. Both go after everyone and anyone with the comics specifically addressing the school system, parenting behaviors, modern family dynamics, normal behavior, and so on. A wonderful example can be seen in the comic linked below. In this strip, Calvin’s parents are lamenting the loss of polite behavior in society…

Religion, according to Karl Marx, “is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.” Vonnegut takes the idea of religion and attempts to use it to open the reader’s mind to new possibilities. Bokononism tells us that peace is only obtainable when there is a balance between good and bad, right and wrong. Vonnegut creates words around the Bokononist religion, for example, a karass is a group of people linked together to carry out God’s will.…

    Black No More is remarkable because it challenged the common mindset about race in the 1930s by using science fiction and satire, and neither side was safe, black or white, from the satire of George Schuyler.

    The production of In the Blood would be classified as a mix between “outside” (external/presentational) and “inside” (or internal/representational). This is an effective strategy because it keeps the audience involved and makes them pay attention to the plot. As Cohen says, “Great acting, therefore, comes from both the inside and the outside”. To continue, according to Robert Cohen, “Presentational performers directly and continuously acknowledge the presence of audience members by singing to them; dancing for them; joking with them; and responding openly to their applause, laughter, requests, and heckling.” (15).…

People are handicapped so that no person is superior to another person. I feel that Vonnegut Jr. is giving a warning to the current society about the disadvantages of making everyone equal. The school systems of today’s society are already advancing into this direction with accommodations to students that typically struggle in school.…
