- Title
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. A Chink in McMurphy's Armor.
- Authors
Pashaee, Roshanak
- Abstract
It is commonly believed that One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is an anti-establishment novel, but McMurphy's motives in defying the establishment, as epitomized by his attitude towards Miss Ratched, may issue from his antagonism to female power. Some instances suggest that McMurphy's gender biased encounters with Nurse Ratched and the inmates, may be considered as part of the capitalist patriarchal ideology he is generally believed to oppose.
