Since Harrison declares himself emperor when he breaks
into the television studio, had he lived, he would have been dictatorial. His words,
"Now watch me become what I can become!" indicate that he truly
wants to be superior to all others.
- Having
selected his empress from the beautiful ballerinas; he will probably be supported
a court of brillant young men like himself and beautiful women like the
ballerinas. But, he may be something like the World Controllers of Aldous Huxley's
Brave New World, an elitist group who have special privileges while
the other members of the society are in castes. - Or, he
may become like a dictator, who has complete control. Opposition to his rulings will
not be tolerated, and some people who cannot speak well like the announcer, or cannot
find profitable work may be eliminated. Most likely, the very slow people may be
institutionalized or euthanized. - Harrison will establish
a very elitist society such as those that had aristocracies. These people will be the
ones who have had to wear the most handicaps. Those who have few handicaps will be
servants to the aristocracy. There will be no support for those who do not work. No
mediocrity will be accepted since mediocrity was the goal of Bergeron's society. Those
who cannot measure up will be assigned to labor
jobs.
