One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Character Change

Change isn't always positive, but it also isn't always negative. However, change can be so many things because it is never clearly defined to suit any one person. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, there is one certain character that shows a dramatic change in the novel. He shows that fear can be masted into becoming someone's ally in a time of darkness. Chief is the one who is able to prove that "change", no matter what it is, can help anyone out when you need to become strong. The "fog", as explained in the novel, is ultimately the tangible exposure to fear. When Chief is able to overcome this fog, he regains his true self, as a leader, a hero, and as someone who can escape the nightmare of the hospital.
