Answer: He wants to rebel against the law and show off his superior gifts.
Harrison is only fourteen years old, but he is already being chased by police "on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government." He is particularly talented and attractive, which is problematic in this society obsessed with equality. Therefore, Harrison has to wear more handicaps than almost anyone else. He wears thick glasses that obscure his vision, as well as giant earphones, a clown nose, blacked out teeth and weights. However, his opposition to the government and rebellious behaviour imply he disagrees with the use of handicaps and wants to show off his talents and qualities.
