Why is Bromden important in one flew over the cuckoo's nest?

Answer 1

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.
