Answer:
In Harrison Bergeron, the Handicapper General is assigned to "dumb down" the stronger, more beautiful and smarter citizens so that everyone can achieve equality. Harrison is an exceptional athlete, born with extremely good looks and is a genius. This causes him to bear huge physical and medical handicaps. These include headphones that play distracting noises, three hundred pounds of weight strapped to his body, eyeglasses designed to give him headaches, a rubber ball on his nose, black caps on his teeth, and shaven eyebrows.
