Control Leads to Destruction in Ken Keseys One Flew Over the Cuckoos

Control Leads to Destruction in 1 Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, by sight Kesey, is about patients and doctors in a mental institution. The author talks a lot about what goes on in this institute. The main points in this book partake in with control, be it the character of McMurphy who is unable to handle control, or Nurse Ratched the head nurse on the ward whose job requires her to be in control. The world of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is dark it is a place where control leads to destruction, but the story shows through the character of The headman that there is still hope if the plenty who be being controlled have the power to resist. Nurse Ratched is a mean woman whose job revolves around control. She depends on people who are less well(predicate) than her to make a living. Her need to control others is an unfortunate trait that she has because it makes people unable to think for themselves and it also leads to destruction. One example of this is when Nurse Ratched caught one of the patients (Billy Bibbit) with a woman. The nurse feeling the need to control Billy threatened to tell his mother. Billy begged Nurse Ratched not to tell her but when his requests were refused Billy slashed his bed with a broken bottle and killed himself. Billys life was destroyed because of Nurse Ratcheds need to control others. Another place that we see the dark world is when we examine the birth between Nurse Ratched and R.P. McMurphy.McMurphy is a happy and rebellious man. He is not used to being controlled, so when he gets into the institution he refuses to be controlled by Nurse Ratche... ...at. At the end of the novel when McMurphy is given a lobotomy, Chief realizes that he is not so safe. Chief escapes from the institution and runs away to Canada. Chief is a figure of hope in the novel he shows us that there is still a way out for those who are being controlled. The novel One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest shows us darknes s, and it shows us a world where control leads to destruction. It shows us lives destroyed, people who are so obsessed with control that they do not think of others even if their job requires them to do so. However, it shows us hope. Hope for those who are being controlled, hope for those who just cant take the harsh strict rules that are imposed upon them. The world of One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest is like a dark grey cloud, a dark grey cloud with a silvery lining.
