What are the motifs in Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut?

The individual is a recurring idea in many of these stories. The struggle of the individual to survive in a world moving toward sameness, government or corporate control and social restriction is a theme that runs through a large number of the stories in Welcome to the Monkey House. Vonnegut warns against this suppression of the individual most blatantly in "Deer In the Works" and "Harrison Bergeron."
