Claim: The society Harrison Bergeron lives in is not at all equal.
Quote: "It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun."
Commentary: The society isn't as equal as the people think it to be. We see in the story that there are people who have more power than others, such as Diana Moon Glampers. Diana comes in with a shotgun and shoots two people, and there are other people in the story with no rights to be individual or have any form of power or pride like George, who is forced to wear birdshot to restrain his strengths and a radio in his ear to keep him from thinking and being more intelligent than others.
