Chief Bromden in Ken Keseys One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest :: One Flew Over Cuckoos Nest

Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest   Chief Bromden is half American Indian. His cause was a chief named Tee Ah Millatoona, which means The-pine-that-stands-tallest-on-the-mountain. That is why he is able to use the title chief. He took on his mothers last name of Bromden. He grew up in the Columbian gorge. The chief is massive and tall and would appear very intimidating and threatening to those who meet him. He was committed to the hospital and has been there for seven-day than anyone else, for over 15 years.   He was put in there after World War two. The chief was an electricians assistant in a training dwell before the army shipped him off to Germany. It is probably due to working with electronics and the added strain of going to war that has led the chief to have such an unhealthy concentration with electronics.   The chief has led everyone in the hospital, both staff and patients to believe he is deaf and dumb. As a young child he was a lways ignored, by fellow students and adults, this could have been because he was so strange looking, macrocosm half American Indian and appearing so big and menacing yet being quite shy. I had to keep acting deaf if I wanted to hear at all. He felt rejected by his peers throughout emotional state and so as an adult decided that as mess acted like he was invisible he might as well disappear, It wasnt me that started acting deaf, it was people that first started acting like I was too dumb to hear or see or say anything at all. So pretending to be deaf and dumb was probably a defence mechanism. For him, his silence is also extremely potent. As he is able to hear everything that went on in the meetings where the doctors and nurses controvert the future of the patients. The doctors and nurses dont hesitate to say anything in front of him because they think he cant hear. They dont bother not talking out loud about their hate secrets when Im near because they think Im de af and dumb.   The chief sees things in literal metaphors, he sees McMurphy as being really big in size because he is so bear (and big in spirit).
