The document discusses how three protagonists from different novels demonstrate the dangers of absolute power. Winston from 1984 lives under the totalitarian rule of the Party, which monitors his every move and crushes individual thinking. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest realizes that Nurse Ratched has absolute power over the patients in the mental institution. And in Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag sees how the government uses its absolute power to burn books and suppress independent thought. Through these characters, the authors show that absolute power tends to corrupt and should always be avoided to prevent authoritarian control and threats to individual freedom.
