I have to write an essay about some conflicts in the novel
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
What I don't understand is "man vs. machine".
It would be nice if someone give me a brief idea about it.
Thanks.
 
When you read the book, Chief dreams of giant machines and patients being thrown in them. It shows that the patients are only used for experiments, not to help them.

Shock treatment - shows how machinery was overpowering them.

Also, was the big nurse compared to a machine at some point? I don't remember, but look into that.

Sorry if it's no much help, read the book a long time ago =P
 
I only saw the movie. I don't understand the Man vs. machine unless you are referring to the shock treatment.
