The Individual and The System in Keseys One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest :: One Flew Over Cuckoos Nest

The Individual and The Systemâ One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Numerous social issues and issues are investigated in Ken Kesey's epic One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Maybe the most evident grievance against society is the treatment of the person. This issue of the individual versus the framework is a dubious theme that has incited extraordinary addressing of the legislature and the strategies used to treat individuals who can't fit in with the administration's guidelines. McMurphy is a person who is testing and defying the framework's guidelines and practices. He in the long run shows this act of resistance to different patients who start to understand that their lives are being controlled unjustifiably by the psychological organization. When McMurphy first shows up at the organization, the entirety of different patients are hesitant to communicate their contemplations to the Big Nurse. They are reluctant to practice their considerations uninhibitedly, and they accept that the Big Nurse will rebuff them in the event that they question her power. One patient, Harding, says, "All of us in here are hares of shifting ages and degrees...We need a decent solid wolf like the medical caretaker to show us our place" (Kesey 62). This epic has a solid topic of government dismissing the individuals who are viewed as protesters in current society. The administration at that point puts these protesters in mental organizations so it won't need to manage them. This is society's method for dumping those with maverick mentalities so they will vanish from the world and it slipped be's mind. As indicated by one pundit, severe, conventionalist, administrative, progress is the silencer of individual opportunity (Barsness 433). "He (McMurphy) hadn't let what he resembled run his life one way or the other,anymore than he'd let the Combine (the characters' analogy for the administration) plant him into fitting where they needed him to fit...He's not going to let them turn him and production him" (Kesey 153). McMurphy is represented as the run of the mill individual, while Big Nurse Ratched is represented as an individual from the framework, or the Combine. Bromden describes, "McMurphy doesn't have any acquaintance with it, however he's onto what I understood quite a while back, that it's simply the Big Nurse, yet it's the entire Combine, the across the nation Combine that is the huge power, and the medical attendant is only a high-positioning authority for them" (181).
