One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest By Ken Kesey

… one flew east, one flew west, One flew over the cuckoo’s nest. - Children’s folk rhyme

“Beat Literature” Has a counter-culture attitude Has a distaste for any kind of social authority

Setting Primarily in the psychiatric ward of a mental institution

The author Ken Kesey: Refused to settle down Experimented with drugs and the literary form –The blurring of the line between fiction and reality – not to call into question the narrator’s view of events – is a reaction to the methods of the mental ward that emasculates and disempowers its patients.

The author (cont’d) - Kesey worked as an orderly at a mental health facility in CA. He spoke to patients and witnessed the inner workings of such a hospital. He also received electroconvulsive therapy and took psychoactive drugs like LSD.

Narrator He is a supposedly “deaf-mute” Native American (Chief Bromden) He has a skewed consciousness (some believe schizophrenia) He believes the ward is run by a mechanized conspiracy he calls “The Combine”

Protagonist P. Randall McMurphy: –Is a symbol of free-spiritedness and rebellion –Is the hero of the novel –Lives outside society and pierces the compliance of the patients –Impresses upon patients the value of their own lives –Becomes a victim of a world that will not allow men to be free

Themes Rebellion against authority and conformism Importance of freedom (e.g. sexual)

Metaphors Machines Christian symbolism

Other characters Head Nurse: Nurse Ratched (antagonist) The patients: “The Acutes” – patients who can be cured “The Chronics” – patients who will never be cured The Chronics are used to intimidate The Acutes to remind them of what could happen if they don’t comply.
