One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Part IV

In part four I wanted to discuss the effects Kesey has achieved through his use of consciousness and sanity as opposed to insanity. Kessey show’s how Bromden think’s that the modern society is oppressive, and and that the the hospital’s are like repair shop’s for the people who do not fit into the world. His way of interpreting/describing the world emphasizes the social pressure to conform to what other’s think. Those who do not conform or agree to the rules and feelings of the society are looked upon as defective products or sick people of the “schools, churches and the society.” Then later they are labeled mental or ill. The hospital is normally defined as the place where the ill go to be cured. However, in the cases of these people he thinks that they are programmed then put back into the society of so called robs. I think that Kessey has difined his feelings toward society in this book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And I’ve enjoyed it.
