Both the movie Harrison Bergeron and the novel Huck Finn share in the same satirical view of a hypocritical society. ...
Ignorance to society was clearly visible in the movie, Harrison Bergeron, when Harrison entered the illegal head house and played chess with Phillipa. Despite the fact that these houses were forbidden and illegal to enter, Harrison decided to go against the rules that were set up for him to abide by. In the following qoute from the movie, Harrison gives evidence that he had been enjoying his time at the head house: “I never thought that the game could be so beautiful.” At this point, Harrison had clearly expressed his personal feelings about the game of chess and was not afraid to take pride in his mental abilities. ... These actions foreshadowed Harrison’s take over of the television station later on in the movie. It became increasingly obvious that Harrison deviated from society, and showed that he did not fear opposing societal views because he felt fulfilled when he upheld his own beliefs. ...
Harrison found himself submerged in discontentment over the absence of the woman he loved because government officials had her relocated and intervened in affairs that did not concern them.
