In his comedic novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey uses the motif of laughter as a tool to break the order of the Combine. Prior to McMurphy’s arrival, the Big Nurse uses her power to ensure the ward exists in a state of silence to prevent the men from exercising their will. One afternoon, the Big Nurse makes the decision to reduce the amount of cigarettes each patient can use. This renders the men unable to play poker, a social game.

Instead, McMurphy stands back and laughs. Chief justifies McMurphy’s laughter by stating that “he knows that [one] has to laugh at the things that hurt [...] just to keep [...] in balance, just to keep the world from running [one] plumb crazy,” (250). McMurphy’s constant laughter teaches the patients to laugh through their pain. McMurphy’s act of standing back teaches them self-reliance and to be independent.

Knowing how jealousy eats someone up, Iago uses that upon Othello by introducing doubt in one of the greatest things he had, his love in Desdemona. The way Iago worked into Othello’s head is that he made it seem like he was helping him by thinking of different possibilties, which only fed the green-eyed monster in Othello. “Their best conscience is not to leave ‘t undone, but keep ‘t unknown,” (III,iii. 235-236)said Iago, which exaplains exactly how he functions. He tells Othello what he wants to hear, which is what builds the doubt of Othello.

Tim Burton’s style has a way of having poetic endings that while they represent life you feel warmth inside of magic and fantasy. In Edward Scissorhands, snow is a repeating theme. It’s brought up from the start to the end and ties themes together in a satisfying way. Cinematic techniques such as non-diegetic music are used consistently to establish the mood along with symbols. There are two specific examples of snow as symbolism in Edward Scissorhands.

In Much Ado About Nothing, wit was the down fall to many of the characters, but it was also used to provide the audience with comedic relief. Beatrice‘s and Benedick’s pride in their cleverness, Claudio’s assumptions and gullibleness, and Dogberry’s lack or wit and intelligence lead to the misunderstandings and Discoveries throughout the play (Dennis 224). Dennis is saying that each character had a fatal flaw that Shakespeare highlighted by having something terrible or having something ironic happen to them. This shows how he used the elements and levels of wit to captivate the audience by leaving the characters blind to what was really going on. The audience knew the plan for Beatrice and Benedick, but their own confidence in their wit betrayed them.

Lennie cares about George. Lennie always wanted to be with George because, he needed a companion, but he may have trusted him a bit too much. “I turn to Lennie and say jump in and he jumps, couldn’t swim a stroke. He damn near drowned. "(Steinbeck, 40)

Wally Schirra a humorous character. One of his mottos of life is," we should resort to jokes, pranks and good natured kidding to relieve tension, stress and boredom." This motto in his life is something I admire in people. The drive of a person who can keep a smile on their face, no matter the situation. Wally Schirra also had a house in Kauai, so he must have appreciated the beauty of our islands.

Moment: “He twisted and thrashed around like a fish, back bowed and belly up, and when he got to his feet and shook himself a spray came off him in the moon like silver scales.” Pg 164 Fate. The one aspect that people try to change the most. The dappling with fate throughout Ken Kesey’s novel One

Ken Kesey’s figurative language in his novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, illustrates that a broken individual can be made whole again. Throughout his life, Bromden has always been assumed to be deaf and dumb. When he speaks to people, their “machinery disposes of the words like they were not even spoken” (181). Here, Kesey’s metaphor represents the effect that Bromden’s words have on a mind plagued with societal expectations. Bromden is a large, Native American man that does not conform to the mold set by the Combine.
