Vonnegut uses characters like Harrison Bergeron to show the extreme consequences of enforced equality, where individuals lose their individuality and potential. Through his vivid and exaggerated word choice, he emphasizes the oppressive and suffocating nature of a society striving for absolute equality, cautioning readers against the homogenization that comes with such a system.

Indirect characterization is a method of development that requires the readers make a inductive leap. Based on information about the character, the reader makes an inference about their nature.
It is known as indirect characterization, where the author reveals information about a character through their actions, dialogue, thoughts, or interactions with others, allowing readers to form their own impressions.
Authors characterize by creating detailed descriptions of their characters' personalities, behaviors, motivations, and relationships. They use techniques such as direct characterization (explicitly stating traits) and indirect characterization (revealing traits through actions, dialogue, and interactions with others) to bring their characters to life and make them relatable to readers.
Authors use the character's speech and thoughts for indirect characterization. Another technique they use so readers can infer what the character is like is interactions with other characters.
