When the father went into the town, he asked all three girls what they wanted and brought them what they wished. He is also present at the ball and suspects the mysterious beautiful maiden is his daughter. At the end of the tale he refers to Cinderella as “little stunted kitchen-wench which my late wife left…
that “would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains” (Vonnegut 1). As a result of this, knowledgeable members of society cannot recognize the injustice of their government, and “George and Hazel only have fleeting suspicions that the system is a bad one” (“Harrison Bergeron” 2419).
