People will be made to wear eye-glasses, hearing aids, and prosthetic that hinder their 'above minimal abilities' to that of the most impaired. Harrison Bergeron is the world's most talented, smartest, best looking etc, etc, etc, individual and is forced to wear multiple handicaps, dress in a clown suit with a bulbous red nose he is required to frequently honk, carry around 300lbs of lead, and other ridiculous handicaps.

In "Harrison Bergeron," the conflict is not resolved in a traditional sense. The story ends with Harrison being shot dead by the Handicapper General after briefly rebelling against the oppressive government's laws of enforced equality. The resolution highlights the harsh consequences of both the government's policies and individual acts of defiance.
In "Harrison Bergeron," the concept of man vs. nature is not explicitly present. The story mainly focuses on the conflict between individuals (Harrison and the government) in a dystopian society where everyone is forced to be equal in abilities and appearances. This conflict is more about control and power rather than a struggle against nature.
An idiom in "Harrison Bergeron" could be "to tip one's hand," which means to inadvertently reveal one's intentions or strategy. This idiom is used when George Bergeron talks about Hazel not wanting to think about anything except television programs, in order to avoid possible conflict or trouble.
