In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, the author uses motifs and character thoughts to emphasize the fine line that exists between imagination and reality and how simple it can be to blend the two. The idea that the truth can be constructed intentionally, without basis on factual events, is apparent in society with the increase of false realities seen in technology and media; the attempted use of tools to distinguish the two from one another illustrates the complexity of their union.
