“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17 The savior of the Jewish people, Jesus Christ gave his life to absolve the world of its sins. He lived a pure and virtuous life guiding others towards the will of God while diverting them from the evils of earthly pleasures. Although he intended to bring peace, Jesus created discord in the country's governing processes and was ultimately killed for it. His dissidence and his claims to sainthood displeased the rulers, but in perspective he was a peasant who claimed to be the king of all men; I'd be skeptical too. Similarly, in Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Randall P. McMurphy plays the martyr of a mental ward against Nurse Ratched's regime, even though he is actually neither the cause nor the instigator of their mental difficulties. Kesey mocks the Christian religion by spoofing McMurphy's sacrifice to convey white male fears of having minority groups in control. By comparing McMurphy to Jesus, Kesey questions the true nature of Christ's service while also conveying how negatively minorities are viewed. By portraying McMurphy as a dying Christ figure, Nurse Ratched and the black boys are cast as "sin." According to the Bible, Jesus' death brought about the remission of all sins and so, comparing the two, McMurphy's sacrifice is meant to be the absorption of all of Nurse Ratched's evil upon him. The author creates a social commentary in this way to show that assertive women in higher positions are generally regarded by white men as inhuman or evil tyrants. While it may be wrong that Kesey actually feels so against women, the resolution of the routine of life on the ward. The comparison between the two serves to diminish the sincerity of the former and calls into question the purpose of their redundancy. At the same time, the decision to compare patients to disciples makes the minority in power look wrong. Why? ; their uncertain control over what is happening is something that needs to be changed and eradicated. This paragraph needs more. The last sentence seems a bit exaggerated, there isn't much in this section. McMurphy is used as the antithesis of Jesus Christ through his rebellious and vulgar actions to provide a sardonic commentary on religion and also the fears of white men. The clever use of McMurphy as a conquering martyr in contrast to Jesus' widely championed acts of kindness shapes the imagery of domineering women and hateful black men, playing on the prejudices white males have against them..
