Claim: The Society Harrison Bergeron lives in is not at all equal.
Quote: "And to off set his good looks, the H-G men required that he wear at all times a red rubber ball for a nose, keep his eyebrows shaved off and cover his even white teeth with black caps at snaggle tooth random."
Commentary: By making Harrison where these handicaps it doesn't make any more equal it makes him look less to the rest of society. He looks like a clown. In an equal and fair society he would be accepted just the way he was and not need to wear handicaps like a rubber nose or shave his eyebrows.
