13. The main conflict in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest has been described in three different ways:
........the struggle of the "sane individual vs. a crazy institution"
...................."man vs. machine"
........a primevil, wild, unsocialized, anti-family form of masculinity
vs. asexual women, institutions, and society that want to tame it."
Choose the theme that you think most accurately describes the
conflict as portrayed in the film and explain why.
