I think that the author is trying to tell us that complete true equality is basically impossible to achieve. The fact that the typical nature of a human being is to be jealous will always make it impossible, and also there had to be a higher authority to control the equality.

C/Q/C Harrison Bergeron

In the first paragraph of the play it states that everybody is equal in every way possible. However, there is a superior authority controlling the equality.

All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

The last part of this quote portrays that it is not equal. If it was equal there wouldn't be a Handicap General that controls everyone.

Claim: At the end of the short story, Tom Benecke's attitude changes from a man who only cares about work and money to a man who wants to put his family first.

Quote: "He wished, then, that he had not allowed his wife to go off by herself tonight-- and on similar nights. He thought of all the evenings he had spent away from her, working and he regretted them. He thought wonderingly of his fierce ambition and of the direction his life had taken; he thought of the hours he'd spent by himself, filling the yellow sheet that had brought him out here."

Commentary: Tom's thoughts about his past life and how he had wasted it on something so unimporant shows that he has transformed into a man who puts his family first.
