![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They become friends and Bromden gives an intimate account of how McMurphy tries to overcome the oppressive world Ratched has created, victimizing her patients, but the outcome is tragic. McMurphy aims to overthrow the strict rule and give the inmates back their life and dignity.Ĭhief Broom identifies the rebellious McMurphy with his own father, a huge strong Indian made weak and powerless by the oppression of white people. When Randall McMurphy enters the mental hospital to avoid going to prison, his internment in the wing under Ratched leads to a direct confrontation. He's not, but he is mentally disturbed, which colour his poetical descriptions of what happens in the mental hospital wing under the leadership of the strict Nurse Ratched. Chief Broom is a huge Indian who never says a word, so he's assumed to be deafmute. The story, set in a mental hospital, is told by Chief Bromden, or Chief Broom as he's called by the staff. From an author's perspective, this is one of the finest books with an unreliable narrator I've ever come across. ![]()
