Now, don’t you think society should be like this?
The main provider of injustice in the film is the government who have a corrupted view of justice. A quote that demonstrates this corrupted view is when the chancellor declares: “Justice will be swift, righteous and without mercy”. This quotes provides evidence that the totalitarian regime views justice as a merciless means to control a population. The quote also indicates the abuse of government’s power. To associate a sense of injustice with the government, Mcteigue uses complete darkness when the chancellor is in a meeting with his workers.

This shows how powerful and terrifying the human brain is. The human brain named itself, it has all the power to reason and expound upon how the universe was created but we still don’t entirely understand how it works and that makes us very scared, and that fear makes us dangerous. Society uses the power of the human mind to justify the enslavement of others, not much can be more terrifying. We meddle in other people/countries affairs and cause wars and chaos all for the sake of being the victors, all so we can create truth. But what about that one child who opted out.

Bradbury’s stories follow a similar genre which is a dystopian feeling where the characters realize what the world has come to be (“Fahrenheit”). Fahrenheit 451, takes place in a dystopia or “... a dehumanizing environment… where the state keeps citizens in thrall be denying them the kinds of positive, useful intellectual stimuli found in books” (Huntington 107). A dystopia is a future where life is appalling.

He didn 't have any genuine motivation to nor did he have the privilege to capture him.
In the story “Harrison Bergeron” the handicaps make people identical, but, their real plans are to bring fear and weaken them so they don 't rebel against the government. Equality could be dangerous to society because the handicaps are a way that the government controls people without them knowing also scare them with some serious consequences if they don 't follow their orders.
