One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a 1962 novel by Ken Kesey, takes place in an insane asylum run by Miss Ratched, the Big Nurse, who rules over the patients with an iron fist... and her machines, of course, according to narrator Chief Bromden.She has so much power over them that no one dares to stand up to her, until one day when Randle Patrick McMurphy swaggers into the ward, and things are never the same again as he takes everything the Big Nurse stands for and slowly destroys it right before everyone's eyes.Was adapted into a 1963 Broadway play starring Kirk Douglas as McMurphy, as well as a critically-acclaimed 1975 movie directed by Miloš Forman, starring Jack Nicholson as McMurphy and Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched. The 2020 Netflix series Ratched is a prequel starring Sarah Paulson as the eponymous character.

Boisterous Bruiser: McMurphy. In his introduction alone, he laughs and greets everyone at the ward, telling them how he got committed. This becomes the plot foundation for the story, as McMurphy inspires the other patients to come out of their shells and become more confident.

Unreliable Narrator: Bromden is schizophrenic, and often hallucinates Literal Metaphors and ties things into an overarching Mind-Control Conspiracy. He cops to altering what happened by stating that his narration is true, even if it didn't happen this way.

Chekhov's Gun: The Hydrotherapy Console. McMurphy tries to lift it in one scene in an attempt to throw it through the window and escape with the other patients, but finds that it is too heavy for him. Later in the novel, in his conversation with Chief, McMurphy points out the console and wonders if Chief can lift it. At the end of the novel, Chief manages to successfully pick up and throw the console out of the window and escape the ward himself.

Insanity Defense: McMurphy claims he's insane to get transferred to the institution to serve out the rest of his sentence in cushy surroundings, and is more than a little alarmed when he realizes that 'the rest of his sentence' is no longer the few months he thought it was, but when the doctors decide that he's no longer a threat to himself or others — which, considering he's pissed off the evil Nurse Ratched, could mean an indefinite stay.

Averted with Geever, a night-shift orderly who removes the used chewing gum from the underside of the Chief's bunk, and Turkle, another night man who lets the patients have their party before McMurphy's self-foiled escape.

Electroconvulsive Therapy Is Torture
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / int_3f32da0f
comment
Electroconvulsive Therapy Is Torture: In real life, electroshock therapy is mainly painless and quick but with varying results. For a short time after the treatment, the patient may have trouble forming new memories, but the vast majority of patients feel better and are able to use a wider range of treatments. In the past the shock could damage the body through the reaction to the shock, but modern electroconvulsive therapy is done with a muscle relaxant and a short-acting anesthetic, making it mostly painless. In this book, however, it's... well, Electric Torture (although it DOES mention a few times that the shock itself is quick and practically painless) and that portrayal had a worrying amount of impact on medicine. Doctors were shamed out of using ECT for decades after the release of Cuckoo's Nest, despite its generally positive results. The book was written during the 60s when anesthesia was starting to be used with ECT. But considering that this is Nurse Ratched we're talking about, it is likely that she chose not to use it for the purpose of making him suffer.

Wham Line: More illustrative of a character than something that fundamentally changes our perception of them, but it still comes as a shock: we know Bromden is faking being deaf/mute right from the start. What we don't know until roughly the halfway point is that Mac has him figured out quite early on: Chief reacts when Mac warns him about the black aide coming, to which Mac responded with a snicker and "I thought somebody told me you was deef." Another line that's often overlooked is this simple statement from Harding which casts a new light on the Acutes' situation and makes McMurphy realise that he's the only hope for these men:

Politically Incorrect Hero
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / int_55232afa
comment
Politically Incorrect Hero: McMurphy is both racist and sexist (although some of this can be attributed to Values Dissonance). He repeatedly calls the black orderlies "coons," and at one point he claims that women who aren't sex objects are oppressive to men. When he first arrives at the mental hospital, before he knows any of the real reasons to object to Nurse Ratched's reign, his initial objection to her power is that it's "unnatural" for men to be so completely under the authority of a woman.

Through the Eyes of Madness: The novel is narrated by "Chief" Bromden, a paranoid schizophrenic who hears machinery clanking in the walls, sees his fellow patients controlled like marionettes by Nurse Ratched, and repeatedly claims the entire ward is enveloped in a thick white fog that makes it impossible to see or move. At the beginning he claims that everything he describes "Is true even if it didn't happen." His narration doubles both as a terrifyingly astute metaphor, and a description of his own view of a reality that was long ago fucked over.

Big Brother Is Watching: Through her glass window... Appropriately, the Big Nurse's nickname is an allusion to Big Brother. Chief believes that The Combine is the actual Big Brother, while the nurse is just its high-ranking officer.

comment
No Medication for Me: It is mentioned that the anti-seizure medication causes your teeth to fall out, which is a good reason why some of the patients don't want to take it.note In real life, decreased salivation ("cotton mouth") is a side-effect of most psychoactive drugs of various kinds and daily use over a long period of time is likely to wreck your teeth. One gets the unfortunate side effect mentioned above, and decides he'd rather have the seizures; the other is terrified of having a seizure, and takes both men's doses just to be safe.

comment
Prison Rape: Not exactly prison, but the orderlies at the Pendleton insane asylum love to give patients showers. They always check the patient's temperature at the same time they shower the patient, and they go down to Miss Ratched beforehand to get a rectal thermometer and a bottle of Vaseline. She admonishes them to use the minimum amount of Vaseline necessary, but they take the whole bottle inside with them, and they turn up the water pressure till the noise makes it impossible to hear anything that's going on inside...

Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: McMurphy got into this whole jail to mental hospital to lobotomy and ultimately to death situation because he committed statutory rape on a fifteen-year-old girl. At the time of the book's publication (1962) statutory rape of the kind involving an adult and a teenager was considered to be less of an issue than it is considered to be today.

Brief Accent Imitation
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / int_be6f7ae7
comment
When Harding describes the origins of electroconvulsive therapy, the bit about two psychiatrists visiting a slaughterhouse is not made up: those were Cerletti and Bini, who visited an abattoir in 1938 and got the idea that an epileptic fit could be induced by electricity. The idea that inducing seizures could have therapeutic effects, however, was proposed a few years earlier. Harding's Brief Accent Imitation of them, however, as Germans, is false. As is evident by their names, they were Italian.

Irony
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / int_c335b9ec
comment
Irony: The entire plot is a large-scale example of situational irony. McMurphy cons his way into being committed because he's too lazy to serve out a light sentence on the work farm for statutory rape. The fact that McMurphy knows he doesn't belong there makes him chafe with the staff, which leads to him not only getting labeled genuinely insane, but also lobotomized... and then dead. It really hits home for him when he asks about the end of his prison sentence, only to find that, because he's been involuntarily committed, the length of his stay is now entirely up to the medical staff. Patients in the Disturbed Ward, which houses patients with violent or self-harming tendencies, are treated much more humanely than the ones in Nurse Ratched's ward. The nurse in the Disturbed Ward actually tries to keep patients there longer to keep them away from Ratched.

Messianic Archetype: McMurphy. Lampshaded when he and 12 other guys all go fishing. Harding compares the EST victim to Jesus on the cross. McMurphy is also friends with a prostitute called Mary. Bromden describes McMurphy as a "giant sent from the sky to save us." Billy Bibbit commits suicide after betraying him.

The book was written during the 60s when anesthesia was starting to be used with ECT. But considering that this is Nurse Ratched we're talking about, it is likely that she chose not to use it for the purpose of making him suffer.

Malicious Misnaming: Nurse Ratched calls McMurphy "McMurry" as a power play. McMurphy lets her know (without stating it straight out) that he knows it's intentional, and at one point he returns the favor by calling her "Nurse Rat-shed." McMurphy tells her about an uncle of his named Hallahan, who once had a relationship with a woman who deliberately kept calling him "Hooligan" just to annoy him. He eventually stopped her, but McMurphy keeps the method a secret in case he has to use it himself someday.

The Schizophrenia Conspiracy: "Chief" Bromden isn't given an explicit diagnosis but is usually interpreted as schizophrenic. One of the main themes of the novel is the patients' struggle against the "Combine", a vast force trying to control all of society through forced conformity. Not that this was Kesey's commentary on The '50s in any way...

Shown Their Work
 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Kesey worked at the Oregon State Hospital's mental ward (then and still notorious for its poor quality) as an orderly and stated that the Big Nurse is based off an amalgamation of several nurses he had worked with. He talked a fellow orderly into secretly giving him electroshock treatment as part of the research, and did a lot of acid. His hallucinations provided the basis of Bromden's schizophrenic narration. When Chief Bromden speaks just after McMurphy offers him a piece of gum, this is a reference to a real incident when a catatonic schizophrenic who had been silent for 19 years finally spoke after he was reinforced with chewing gum. When Harding describes the origins of electroconvulsive therapy, the bit about two psychiatrists visiting a slaughterhouse is not made up: those were Cerletti and Bini, who visited an abattoir in 1938 and got the idea that an epileptic fit could be induced by electricity. The idea that inducing seizures could have therapeutic effects, however, was proposed a few years earlier. Harding's Brief Accent Imitation of them, however, as Germans, is false. As is evident by their names, they were Italian.
