Analysis Of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest By Ken Kesey
When a student is told to find a university level novel to read, what are they to do but scour the Internet for “short, easy, university level novels”? After extensive research, my group chose the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. This book elicited great response from my group members and me, for its interesting plot and subject. After reading the first part, a common theme I noticed throughout the book is oppression, more specifically, political and industrial oppression.
During this novel, which takes place inside a mental institution, the setting is described as “a factory for the combine” (Kesey 32) where people are taken in and “repaired”. These industrial metaphors continue throughout the first part of this story.
