Prompt - Kesey
Please write thoughtful post discussing a single issue of importance in your reading of this novel. Try to avoid simple summary or making a laundry list. Take up a key issue from our classroom discussions, or:
Discuss how the conflict between McMurphy and the Big Nurse, or between human agency and the crushing power of the combine suggest a view of the world outside that of the mental hospital. Can you extend elements of Kesey’s vision to say what broader political, psychological, or philosophical issues the book takes on?
