《飛越瘋?cè)嗽骸稯ne flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Diana K. One compelling illustration that progress is impossible without sacrifice is demonstrated in Ken Kesey's novel, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. In this novel, which take place in a psychiatric hospital, the dictatorial Nurse Ratched controls and treats the patients unfairly. When a new patient Randle McMurphy attends the hospital, he rebels against Nurse Ratched's suppressive power. However, this achievement of power is not met without sacrifice as McMurphy receives a lobotomy as punishment for his rebellion.
點評:對小說的敘述直接了當、簡明扼要,很有力地支持了文章主題。我特別喜歡 Dina 介紹 Ratched 護士的那段話“In this novel, which take place in a psychiatric hospital, the dictatorial Nurse Ratched controls and treats the patients unfairly.” dictatorial這個詞用得非常好。
