Importance of Humor and Laughter in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest :: One Flew Over Cuckoos Nest

Importance of Humor and Laughter in One Flew e rattlingplace the Cuckoos Nest     There ar three things which ar real God, compassionate folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we mountain with the third. In One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, humor is pre displace in a very powerful form. Normally, insane people dont have the faculty to laugh or find the humor in something as we every daylight people do. They live tragic existences, wandering day by day in the bland, depressing world of an asylum. They have forgotten how to live because they are under the authoritative rule of the head nurse, and under the behavioral mould of drug doses and bossy distinguishlies. The patients have no real existence of their own, and they are essentially lifeless. As the Lord works in mysterious ways, Randall MacMurphy is sent to heal the patients of the asylum. He shows them that to laugh is good, and laughing at yourself can sometimes be the best medicine. He is the comic healer who gives life to the other than hopeless patients of the asylum.  MacMurphy seems to have an affinity for laughter. In essence, it is an escape for him- it makes him feel good, and about importantly, it radiates to his friends, and helps heal them.    This book is about so many things, it is hard to cleave on one topic for any length of time. In order to focus on the laugh and laughing as a ameliorate agent, I would manage to look towards other influential writers and thinkers to tie together laughing and healing. First, lets see what laughter is according to Meriam Webster laughter- n. a cause of merriment.  Using this simple definition, we can assume that laughter can come from any form of merriment or emotion like triumph, contempt, relief, and almost any other emotion there is. It is easy to printing in your head different underlying emotions in laughter the colored laughs of witches and ghosts, the insincere, fake laughs you hear after pointless, humorless attempts at jokes on the sextet oclock news, to the silent laughs of mimes and clowns that fill the people around them with a happy feeling. These are all examples of what laughter is and how it is used. But why do we do it? What in nature created the laugh and made it so lucky?
