The Conflict Between the Individual and Authority as a Central Theme in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
This paper investigates the central themes found in the book "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by author Ken Kesey. In this novel, the problems that the inmates experience is portrayed as a conflict between the inmates and the authoritative conditions of society, where Kesey defines these inmates as not being "insane" but rather as more individualized than the rest of the world and therefore unwilling to allow society to destroy them. In his novel, the majority of his characters are faced with not being able to live in the rest of the world, where their personality traits or their very natures have in some significant way set them apart from what most would consider a "normalized" society.
