“Harrison Bergeron” and “Revelation” also share similar irony. Both use irony in a humorous way to make the characters situations seem less bleak. While “The Lottery” and “Cathedral” use irony to emphasis the allegory in “Harrison Bergeron”, it is funny and ironic that George says he does not want to lighten the weight he wears because then everyone would start cheating, and they would all go back to the dark ages.

I think throughout all three versions of this story Curley’s Wife is the most varied among the three. The differences within the character of Lennie are easily and greatly seen. In the book he isn’t seen as having a mental disability but more so just acting stupid and a little bit “slower.” Also while in the book, Lennie does love rabbits, but doesn’t constantly talk about them like he does in the play and movie.
