	one flew over the cuckoos nest
		In this novel Randall McMurphey is not crazy, nor may we conclude that he is the sanest of people, but as it appears he only acted as though he was mentally handicapped as an attempt to get out of the work farm he was placed in.
		Parts of the novel were written while he was under the influence of LSD and peyote, which explains why Kesey had so many metaphors and unexplainable interpretations written in the novel.
		He wrote the novel for people to understand that there is a hero in all of us, even loud, boisterous men with no regard for rules and regulations.

		at September 15, 2005 05:59 PM I have a novel theory as to why people go crazy, and it comes from first hand observation after working in an insane asylum (the Oregon State Hospital where One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest was filmed, to be exact).
		Our pattern spotting obsession is what gives us our edge over the competition, lets us stay one step ahead by pridicting the next signal from the environment.
		Indeed, the human ability to spot a suspicious coincidence in streams of data is crucial to science, because it gives a scientist a place to start: You think you see a pattern, so you hypothesize what the governing rule would be that produces that pattern.

		The story is based on a novel by Ken Kesey, in which McMurphy -the embodiment of free will and untamed spirit- clashes heavily with the establishment.

		At the same time it is Kesey's lament on the then contemporary treatment of mentally ill patients.

	Theology Today - Vol 29, No. 2 - July 1972 - ARTICLE - Parables of Cosstly Grace: Flannery O'Connor and Ken Kesey
		WHILE twentieth-century literature may indeed know more of estrangement than of grace, it would be difficult to imagine two more explicit parables of redemption than Ken Kesey's novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
		Whatever the reason for the detailed Christ-figure, Cuckoo's Nest is not deliberately a parable for secular Christianity, certainly not in the sense of being an illustration of anyone's theological viewpoint.
		Although Cuckoo's Nest is not explicitly autobiographical, it may be that Kesey's own personality is the model for the hero (Randle McMurphy) and the setting (the mental asylum).

		One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest confronts the insecurity and hypocrisy that is the basis of almost all human interactions.
