In Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison" Bergeron defines himself as his hero who desires to change an egalitarian society in which everyone is equal to anyone else, including physical appearance, such as beauty. Thus, the two authors argue differently about beauty. Making everything and everyone beautiful could help build a better society. To begin, Vonnegut advises that beauty can occasionally create a better society for everyone. Kurt Vonnegut explores his main character, a young boy of fourteen, considered by Harrison to be a liability because of his ability to succeed. Harrison is referred to as intelligent, competent, physically strong and more handsome. However, the author writes this story based on Harrison's mind. Vonnegut traces the conflict within Harrison's morality because Harrison struggles with his desire to create an egalitarian society. Vonnegut chose to develop Harrison in order to help us readers understand the meaning of equality in his creative society, that no man or woman was expected to be attractive or beautiful than others. Earlier in history, the government passed laws regarding the physical appearance of individuals, stating that everyone should be equal. But Harrison and his Empress were above the average of the others. Harrison had power as soon as he declared himself "emperor" and the empress was "extraordinarily beautiful" by the reason the government killed them. “It was then... in the middle of an article... she seemed to be behaving and influencing young teenagers in the wrong way. For example, most girls brag about being more beautiful than each other. As a result, they appear manipulative, disrespectful and mean to others. And above all this creates conflicts and violence in our society today. In conclusion, it is true that beauty pleased our eyes and our consciences. People have gone far trying to make themselves look good. As a result, most of them end up getting killed or suffering from a disease such as skin cancer. Instead of only some people being happier than others, as Morrison presented Twyla, I believe that people should all be equal, as Vonnegut advocates in his story, this way there will be no more murders, of rape or even manipulation of others because of their beauty. . Can beauty help rebuild our society?.
