As in the nursery rhyme: One flew east and one flew west and one flew over the cuckoo's nest. The cuckoo's nest can mean a lunatic asylum in the case of this book/film, where the inmates are cuckoo. The story relates how the new arrival, McMurphy, is appalled to see the way the inmates are kept down by Nurse Rachet and is determined to do something about it. So he flies east and Nurse Rachet flies west. And boom boom the feathers fly. The chief (Bromden) is released from his chemical chains with disastrous results. Bromden narrates the events as he saw them as a silent witness, how McMurphy and the Nurse fought for control and what happened afterwards. The chief is the one who flies over the nest.

Bromden serves as the narrator of the story and provides insight into the workings of the mental hospital and its patients. He also represents the voice of the marginalized and oppressed, giving depth to the novel's themes of power and freedom. Additionally, Bromden's character undergoes significant growth and transformation, making him an integral part of the novel's narrative.

Bromden sees and hears everything. He is like the fly on the wall which gives him the most knowledge about what is going on which makes him able to describe what is happening and why its happening.
