Set in two very divergent times, these two novels are essentially about the rebellious armed combat spirit of individuals. Authority in 1984 is depicted in the form of the society, which rules over Oceania. In One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, Nurse Ratched and her staff are the authority figures. 1984s protagonist, Winston Smith, fights against the Party, and McMurphy fights Nurse Ratched in One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. These two men have several character similarities. The Party and its leader Big Brother play the role of authority in 1984. The Party is always ceremonial the citizens of the Republic of Oceania. This is exemplified in the fact that the government has telescreens with which they can watch you wherever you are set up almost everywhere. Even in the countryside where at that place are no telescreens, the Party can monitor its citizens through hidden microphones disguised as flowers. The Thought Police are capable of spying on your thoughts at whatevertime, and can arrest or even k tired of(p) you on a whim. Not only does the Thought Police find and hunt drop felons, but it also scares others into being good citizens. The Party strives to eliminate more and more words from peoples vocabularies. Thus, the Party can destroy any possibilities of revolutions and conspiracies against itself. Its ultimate goal is to reduce the language to only one word, eliminating thought of any kind. The Party makes people believe that it is good and right in its actions through the Ministry of Truth and through the slogans printed on the Ministry of Truth... ...o novels have similar authority figures and protagonists. Both novels express the importance of standing up for what you believe in and fighting against authority no matter how difficult. Even though they are both defeated at the end of the novels, the reader empathizes with each of their struggles. The oppressed Winston Smith fought against the evils of the Party while other citizens accepted it and all its lies. Randal Patrick McMurphy battled Nurse Ratched right from the start. He was a leader among the other patients and brought new light to the ward. His fighting spirit, stubborn attitude, and ill temper, however, ultimately defeat him. These two novels were and still are very powerful and moving. Like all novels ever written, 1984 and One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest both have their weaknesses. They are, however, well written, gripping, and overall good reads.
