The narrator of this story is plagued by his addiction that is seemingly haunting him. He no longer seems to recognize himself in his actions and Pluto is a constant affirmation of his unfortunate habit. Yet, with this steadfast addiction, the mood that is set, allows the assumption that the narrator fears himself and the person that he has become, more than anything else. He finds himself in a position where he is the cause of destruction in his own life and this ensues great anguish. Furthermore, in “The Fall of the House of Usher,” as the narrator is explaining the effects of Usher’s crazed mindset, he says, “At times, again, I was obliged to resolve all into the mere
Women as castrators, society’s destruction of natural impulses, and false diagnoses of insanity are some of the themes which are reinforced by the Chief’s madness and hallucinations in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The main weaknesses of using Chief Bromden as the narrator of the novel are due to the fact that the Chief continuously describes his hallucinations as if they were present and constantly has flashbacks of his past which can be confusing.

This particularly interferes with our knowledge and understanding about what is actually happening at the ward. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, one very confusing thing that interferes with our understanding of reality and fantasy is Chief
Swift’s repetitive creation of his extreme mental images, which appeal to one’s senses, gives the reader a false opinion about him, but subsequently becomes beneficial to his overall essay.

A Reality Check With the use of symbolism, Aldous Huxley creates a beautiful novel that in essence warns his audience of the future.

With his satirical references to sex, drugs, technology and the naming of his characters, Huxley relates his novel back to his readers and their future. Without recognizing these symbols, the readers could find this novel confusing and ridiculous; but with each symbolic object and person comes a clearer picture of what Huxley us really trying to convey.
