Racism in Ken Keseys One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest :: One Flew Over Cuckoos Nest

Racism in One Flew everywhere the Cuckoos Nest   sometimes things that seem crazy actually make sense. A good lesson is the narrator of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Chief Bromden. He appears to be an raving mad patient at a mental hospital who hallucinates about ill-advised mechanical people and a thick fog that permeates the hospital shield where he lives. In reality, Bromdens hallucinations provide valuable insight into the dehumanization that Bromden and the different ward patients be subjected to. Ken Kesey, in his writing of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest brings out his racialism in the fabrication.   The Aides in Keseys novel, who are to a fault called black boys, negatively portray blacks as inferior to snow-covered people in society. The underworld had a poor, rough childhood growing up as seen by their lack of education as seen in the quote Why, who you spose signed chief Bromden up for this foolishness? Inniuns aint able to write (191). T heir aides crime of the patients stems from their rough childhood. They are also cast as irresponsible and unavailing to carry out simple jobs. This is evident in the quote Ill return key him. Hes always untying his sheet and roaming around. (147), when Turkle, the night-shift aide, lies to the nurse in charge at night by saying that Bromden untied his sheets, when Turkle Irresponsibly untied Bromdens sheets for him.   On the morning of the fishing trip on Nurse Ratcheds ward, one of Ratcheds aides called Bromden illiterate because he was half-Indian. The General statement made by the aid, which was in the quote Why, who you spose signed chief Bromden up for this foolishness? Inniuns aint able to write. (191), describes Keseys racism toward Indians. The quote reflects how Indians in Keseys novel are portrayed as illiterate. Bromden also represents the Indians as imprisoned at the mercy of white people. In Keseys novel Indians, such as Bromdens father were forced to hand over their bring down to white people. The Indians land was very important to them and being forced to allow for up land was essentially giving up their freedom.   The types of jobs that the hospital workers pass on also indicate Keseys racism in his novel.
