Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron." "You been crying?" he said to Hazel. "Yup," she said. "What about?" he said. "I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television." "What was it?" he said. "It's all kind of mixed up in my mind," said Hazel. "Forget sad things," said George. "I always do," said Hazel. How does this interaction between George and Hazel develop Kurt Vonnegut's social criticism? It demonstrates potential problems that occur in a competitive relationship. It illustrates the need for maintaining equality in a society. It suggests that women are more emotional than men. It shows how technology can dehumanize and desensitize people.
