Read the excerpt from "harrison bergeron." “i am the emperor! ” cried harrison. “do you hear? i am the emperor! everybody must do what i say at once! ” he stamped his foot and the studio shook. “even as i stand here—” he bellowed, “crippled, hobbled, sickened—i am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived! now watch me become what i can become! ” what do harrison’s words and actions reveal about his character? he wants to become like the handicapper general and have absolute power. he wants to rebel against the law and show off his superior gifts. he wants to force everyone to appreciate music and dancing. he wants to make the people watching television fear for their lives. i don't need this personally, just asking it for you others out there who do.
