Similarities Between Harrison Bergeron and Fahrenheit 451
The two stories Fahrenheit 451 and Harrison Bergeron are similar in the that that there government and rules merge. They have laws that have been passed to confine what people can do. The legislatures keep citizens from considering and associating with one another in positive ways. On the off chance that citizen do rebel against the laws, they are executed rapidly and effectively. This lets identity alone for the imagination. Likewise in the two stories, the control of the government is the thing that harms the general population, not smarts or books. This shields people from contemplating the laws set up and instead center around the little world around them.
In Fahrenheit 451 The story opens with Fellow Montag, a ‘firefighter’ in a dystopian edged society where he and his associates begin fires as opposed to putting them out. Books are prohibited and burned upon finding, and Montag has no hesitations about his obligation. It is the year 2081, and George and Hazel Bergeron have a child, Harrison. Tragically for them, the legislature removed him when he was fourteen years of age. It could not be any more obvious, somebody once given intelligence and strength like George Bergeron is of better than expected, so he has had a radio embedded in his ear. Puncturing alarms crashes and blasts go off occasionally to ruin his manner of thinking. (His better half, Hazel, then again, is breathtakingly normal. No impairments on her.) Hazel, the mother of Harrison, feels a need to help the administration harming her like Montag however in two diverse worlds.’Only, if I was Handicapper General, you know what I would do?’ said Hazel. Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon Glampers. ‘If I was Diana Moon Glampers,’ said Hazel, ‘I’d have chimes on Sunday-just chimes. Kind of in honor of religion.’I could think if it was just chimes,’ said George.’Well-maybe makes ’em real loud,’ said Hazel. ‘I think I’d make a good Handicapper General.'(Harrison Bergeron)
The government in the two stories adopt diverse strategies to make the society as enable to function as possible. The overseeing body in Fahrenheit 451 prohibited books and quickened the pace of standard life. The people mostly have no opportunity to think, as Faber clarifies on page 84 of the Fahrenheit 451 content. Off-hours, yes. In any case, time to think? In case you are not driving a hundred miles 60 minutes, at a bluff where you cannot consider whatever else yet the peril, at that point you are playing some amusement or sitting in some room you have nothing to think about. The TV has additionally utilized a weapon of mass annihilation. The TV, otherwise called the parlor, appears to diminish the human personality into mush, with the consistency like oats. The majority of the diverse innovation worked by this new age was twisted towards keeping the mind diverted on futile rubbish and fending off individuals from scholarly exercises. These advances can be as straightforward as a cover or an earpiece, and however, at last, it is wearing down these individuals harming them and by the standards of the government.
Some may state that these books are diverse in that the lives are unique and in the two cases, it is proper motivation. In any case, to that I state profanation and that these books are substantial instances of the government’s principles harming their kin/the people ‘It was a pleasure to burn.'(Fahrenheit 451 pg.3)This is from the ‘firefighter’ Montag his activity it to begin flames, and it was his activity. A fire starter to consume books, PCs, and stash. ‘It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.’ (Harrison Bergeron)Diana Moon Glampers discovered her male opposite in Montag. In any case, the thing that matters is Montag changes not Moon Glampers. The administration control can hurt its very own kin.
The legislature should keep everybody in the public arena upbeat. The general population need a request and uniformity, yet what happens when it goes excessively far? The two creators contemplate this while investigating and testing America’s dream/bad dream. At the point when doing the administration’s standards in the end force on our established rights or even our fundamental rights (the privilege to life, freedom, and the quest for satisfaction? Could our reality end up like the ones in the books? Could our reality mist up with vagueness and turn highly contrasting? At the point when will we disregard the moon?
“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon.” (Fahrenheit 451 pg.53) ‘They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.'(Harrison Bergeron) The books, the magnificence, and the mind. Stacked weapons like the one discharged into Harrison’s chest. A homicide a 451 on Harrison Bergeron rd. With you need to inquire as to for what reason would the administration hurt its very own citizens…? For what reason is this topic? It is dim and dismal however so is life as is these book. Perhaps the legislature is correct possibly we should surrender unrestrained choice. Perhaps they ought to shield us from mischief. Possibly they should. Should they…?
