Ken Kesey's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'/ Heroism
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages the author discusses the topic of heroism in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' by Ken Kesey. In this novel the story is presented through Chief Broom's (Bromden) eyes. Chief Broom is an Indian that has been receiving so-called treatments of electro-convulsion. The protagonist is Randle Patrick McMurphy. McMurphy is also the hero of the story, although his heroism is not what one would consider being 'normal' heroism. His heroism is because of his attempting to get the patients involved and because he is willing to stand up to the antagonist. Heroism in '1984' by George Orwell is also briefly discussed.
