In Gilead society the government attempted to remove the individuality of citizens in many ways, as seen in Harrison Bergeron's similarity with the use of handicaps. Morano ensured that the company was ranked in a hierarchy with assigned uniforms of specific colors to show role within the company. The handmaids dress in red to symbolize fertility, the "Wives" dress in blue, to show their inability to have children. Da Morano, using costume, ensured that citizens were defined only by their social and reproductive function, stripping each woman of her own identity. Where, as in Harrison Bergeron, they have lost their individuality because they try to make society fair by hindering those who are above average. "They were not just equal before God and the law. They were equal in every way." This causes people to lose their individuality and humanity In Hand Maids Tale, as Morano did with the costumes, everyone's identity has been stripped away as, although some have more privilege, everyone has been renamed and repositioned “Offred is my name. Now." Their loss of individualism is symbolized by their generic titles, for example the men are classified as "Commanders" and "Eyes", which is different from Harrison Bergeron's society in that they are not assigned to specific roles, but are still deprived of their individuality. The two authors used the suppression of individuality to create societies in which citizens are interchangeable and replaceable with each other, showing an unfavorable aspect.
