the journey of chief bromden in ken kesey`s one flew over cuckoo`s nest

the idea of subject and power is represented in many ways in literature. adding the discipline of modern man and the social conventions to this power, it results in a bounded restrict man who is always obeying society and rules.

now ken kesey, in his great novel named as one flew over cuckoo`s nest represented this idea of subject and power and ironically mocked the modern man. here i did not add any background story to this great theme like how michel foucault studied it in madness and civilization.

but my focus is on the specific character of chief bromden, who left the asylum at the end of the novel. his journey from being deprived form his father or ancestors to ending up in an asylum and then trying to escape the place has been examined in this article.
