Question

cuckoo’s nest is narrated by chief bromden. what is complex about his role as both a narrator and a main character? what internal conflict does bromden seem to be experiencing, and how does it affect his storytelling?

Answer 1

By choosing Bromden as narrator instead of the central character of Randle Patrick McMurphy, Kesey gives us narration that is objective, that is to say from the outside of the central character, and also narration that is subjective and understandably unreliable.
