Explanation: "Harrison Bergeron" is a short story about a future where equality is taken to another level, by law, all people should be as equal as possible, this means that if you are better than someone else at something, you will be forced to use "handicaps" to make you equal to everyone else. But this develops the theme that it is impossible to make people totally identical in every way this is support by the fact that the heaviest of handicaps cannot mask Harrison's superiority.
