It's funny and slightly scary to think about, but there are a few similarties in the way that school and psych wards are run. One similarity is they are both run on a strict schedule. In the book One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest we learn that there are certain times a day that things happen and if the wards don't follow that then they could get in trouble. This is also true with school. We have a everyday schedule and if we don't show up to the right class at the right time then we too will suffer the consequences.
Another similarity is the fact that they both are run by a head leader, such as a principle or Big Nurse. These leaders don't work alone though. I mean it would be pretty difficult to try to run an entire school or psych ward all by yourself, so they have helpers, also know as vice- principles, teachers, and the black boys. Big Nurse uses certain tactics to keep all the wards in line, and obidient. Principles and administrators in the school do similarly. We are told that if we do not obey or if we do something wrong we will be given a detention or we will have to attend saturday school both which are not enjoyable punishments so they are used as an ultimatum- basically saying that if you don't abide by the rules you will have to endure the consequences. In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Big Nurse does similar things, but on top of that she emaculates the men so she will be the ultimate power, so they will obey.
A third way the two are similar is rebellion is in the air. In schools there are always those disrespectful kids who feel like they don't have to listen to anybody, and who don't want to do what they are told. And they don't even care about the consequences. They also may do it for different reasons. Some may find it funny to talk back and get a laugh out of the class, some may do it for the thrill of not getting caught, and some may just be raised disrespectful and not know any other way. Comparably the psych wards face similar problems. For example in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, McMurphy is very rebellious, but he does it because he finds it funny and he wants to stir things up a little bit. Then there's Taber who questioned his medicine, which wasn't trying to upset anyone by doing he was just curious, but it was disobedient. The Chief is also a little rebellious because he acts like he is deaf and blind which is dishonest and he also didn't tell anyone that he didn't take his pills. There are a lot of similarities to the way a school and a psych ward are run.
I agree with all the similarities you find between these two places. It's true, both are run by a head leader- the nurse and a principal, and we are punished if we don't follow their rules. I never thought about the "rebellion in the air" but it's very true. I think that exists everywhere- there's always going to be people that want to make up their own rules and do everything their way- and this is EVERYWHERE- even in the streets when driving- that's why there are accidents, mostly because people put their OWN speed limits.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the similarities between school, and the asylum. At the asylum the nurse is like the principle. She makes the rules that they need to follow. Everywhere you go there will be someone who makes the rules, whether it is at work, at home etc.. Rules are just everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI agree with these similarities. The similarities between the principle adn the Big Nurse is a very clear one that I also saw. They both help take care of the place they are running and everyone has to listen to them or else they will get in trouble. They run the place so obviously they need to be listened to.
ReplyDeleteWhen we first started reading this book I didnt think at all ahout how similar their methods of controling their patients was to how school control their students. It really is frightening to think about how rules and routines control us just how they are used to control the patients in the asylum.
