Chief Bromden, the half-Indian narrator of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, has been a patient in an Oregon psychiatric hospital for ten years. His paranoia is evident from the first lines of the book, and he suffers from hallucinations and delusions.
The phrase “one flew over the cuckoo’s nest” is taken from a children’s folk rhyme, which is quoted in the novel’s epigraph: “One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.” Flying over the cuckoo’s nest implies that someone has gone insane, as the slang word “cuckoo” has long been synonymous with “crazy.”
