One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NestThe author of the novel stages this story in a mental institution located in the Pacific Northwest. The manuscript was written in the early 1960s, when issues of social norms were thrust into the spotlight. In “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” Ken Kesey examines how the appearance of a controversial mental patient affects everyone around him in the asylum. This character created by Ken Kesey, Mr. McMurphy, introduces many themes such as: man versus man, man versus machine, treatment of clinically insane patients, and insane versus sane. The narrator of this novel is Chief Bromden "Chief Broom", who is a convict, believed to be both deaf and dumb. His fiction aims primarily to divert attention. He is the longest serving patient at the hospital since World War II. Through this narrator, the author focuses on Randle Patrick McMurphy, who is also an inmate. The latter is convicted of beatings and gambling. He feigns insanity to serve his sentence in a mental institution instead of prison. He does it to escape the work of prison and is convinced that he would find comfort in the mental hospital. As a result, he is confined in a psychiatric hospital in Oregon. (Kesey, p. 9) As a result, McMurphy was described as opposing Nurse Ratched and her practices, which leads to a power struggle between the inmate and the nurse. It has been vividly described that the connection between disability and gender in the novel is represented by the idea that the men on the ward are unable to assert their masculinity and that this is ultimately the root cause of the fact that they are institutionalized, Looking further into I pit the individual... at the center of the card... in the institution against the members of the team, particularly the head nurse, Ratched, causing a wave of rivalry between the inmates and the nurse. Although he ends McMurphy's reign, Nurse Ratched is ultimately defeated by him due to the new state of mind of all the patients still living in the ward. McMurphy was so powerful in the ward that the only way to defeat him was to alter his brain. This tragic operation led to Chief Bromden killing his best friend due to his inability to see McMurphy living in his new state. This effectively demonstrates McMurphy's influence on everyone in the asylum. The work cited Adelman, Irving and Rita, Dworkin.
