Question

which sentence best describes george bergeron’s characterization in harrison bergeron?
○ he is a static character, because he has become dehumanized by government controls.
○ he is a dynamic character, because he becomes angry with the police for arresting his son.
○ he is a static character, because he has average intelligence.
○ he is a dynamic character, because he attempts to remove that bag that carries his handicap radio device.

Explanation:

George Bergeron remains unchanged throughout Harrison Bergeron; he accepts government-mandated handicaps and never challenges the system, making him a static character. His dehumanization from constant control, not average intelligence, defines this static trait. The other options incorrectly label him dynamic, as he does not undergo meaningful change in his beliefs or behavior.

Answer:

A. He is a static character, because he has become dehumanized by government controls.
