In the story Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut, the author calls attention to the heroic and villainous characters. As we examine the story, these two poles become challenging to identify and we become conscious of the fact that the protagonist, Harrison Bergeron, can easily be depicted as the hero and the villain.

Harrison Bergeron cannot be declared heroic nor can he be a villain, he is simply a result of mankind.
