" The Unknown Citizen" is a very suitable name for this poem. It has many things in common with Harrison Bergeron and Saboteur. Where every citizen in the society lives exactly the same, or where there is nothing that sets the citizens apart from each other. The reader may gather many thoughts about this. Therefore one might conclude that the "Unknown Citizen" is every person that lives in that society.
             "He was found by the Bureau of statistics to beOne that there was no official complaint, and all the reports on his conduct agree/ That in the modern sense of an old fashion word, he was a saint, For in everything he did he served the greater community (1-5)". The First few lines of the poem explain a lot. One might think from reading this that he was a well-behaved citizen. He did everything that society expected him to do. He did nothing to make himself standout from anyone else. He was just like everyone else. He went to work everyday he served the greater community. Every person in that society did the same thing, which Auden might have been, referring to our society today. The "Unknown Citizen" has a great deal in common with the story "Harrison Bergeron" in the sense that everyone is the same. In Harrison Bergeron, everyone had handicaps on them that made them equal no one was unique. As in the "Unknown Citizen" Auden describes the "Unknown Citizen" as very common, he does every thing that society expects him to do.
