Utopia and dystopia are themes that explore the substantial scope of the deceptive ascendancy and create a compelling illusion of a "perfect" society. Utopia is described as an ideally perfect place, state or condition with respect to politics, laws, customs and conditions while a dystopia, or a negative utopia, is a society characterized as the illusion of a perfect society maintained through an oppressive society. control, in which it exploits an exaggerated worst-case scenario. The short stories, Harrison Bergeron and The Lottery, are both literary examples imparted around a utopian society. Harrison Bergeron, was written by Kurt Vonnegut in 1961. This story elucidates a dystopian society that derives from its individuality and is expected to conform to authority. The Lottery, is a short story written by Shirley Jackson that was published in June 1948 and exercises a story that a compelling vision of a perfectly reticent and friendly society is however confused by the deceptive idea of ​​a utopia. These literary examples of a dystopian story and utopian narratives share many of the same characteristics. These include: the society is an allusion to a perfect world, the citizens appear to be under constant surveillance, a figure or concept is worshiped by the citizens of the society, and the citizens are afraid of the outside world. The feature, the society is an allusion to a perfect world, is a distinctive component of these dystopian narratives. In Harrison Bergeron, citizens are alluded to conform to consistent expectations and be derived from their individuality. They are subverted to pervade equality throughout society by wearing handicaps. By conforming to this, society perceives that they are living in a…paper medium…that inhibits their independent thought or freedom. This quote is an excerpt from The Lottery's satirical manner: “The people parted in good spirits to let her pass. "Here's yours, ma'am, Hutchinson," and "Bill, he made it after all." Mrs. Hutchinson joined her husband and Mr. Summers, who was waiting, said cheerfully. "I thought we would have to move on without you, Tessie." said Mrs. Hutchinson. smiling, "You wouldn't want me to leave the dishes in the sink, would you? Joe?", and a soft laugh ran through the crowd...". This is very confusing considering the repulsive ending this precludes, even as it demonstrates the chilling nature of the lottery. Harrison Bergeron and The Lottery are narratives that emphasize the invocation of themes that create an emotional response. They diligently exercise the overlapping barriers between a dystopian and utopian society.
