Is Harrison Bergeron a hero or threat to society. Perhaps one could argue he is both a hero and a threat; however, my argument is going to be based on as a threat to society. Harrison Bergeron is a brave young man who one day tries to overthrow the government. He is too overconfident and thinks he is going to become the emperor. So much so the he becomes reckless, even disobeying the Handicapper General. Becoming the emperor would give too much power to Harrison Bergeron and would most likely become a tyrant. For this reason alone, he is a threat to society. Another reason Harrison Bergeron is a threat to society is because of his influence over others and the potential harm that may cause if others started breaking laws. Harrison's father(George)
