Podcast on Power and Control in the Book

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and Welcome to Connections in English. I am Frank Weng your host for this podcast series. Todays topic we talk ab forth the relationship of antecedent and Control between the novel of single Flew oer the snatchs Nest and the pack 1984. Power and Control is a strong element within everyday life and is too profoundly touched on in the novel One Flew all over the Cuckoos Nest and the film 1984.Power and Control is defined as organism able to perform and act efficiently with a dominating lick over a population, this theme is not just an element within a story but an issue that is met in everyday life, hitherto Power and Control is heavily related to this particular novel and film for example, the view of a leader taking index all those almost them, a person who has complete and utter condition of their surroundings due to an elevated status or ability, this can be seen by some(prenominal) extended brother in 1984 and treat ratchet, or the big nurse in one flew over the cuckoos nest.The need to authorization all thought, eliminate any individuality and fox all subjects cerebration in a similar flair, this is present in both texts with the person in enclose over again being nurse ratchet and big brother/ the government Everyone you see has a glint of Power & Control, as going through school you meet bullies who are generally large and physically stronger than others, however it isnt just physical strength. One could acquire a higher status in society (higher re throw offation) than others therefore have potential of grasping significant power and attend.There are even individuals in this society who are born into a family with heavy power and control, The mafia is a good example, Role models are depicted upon and are happy to shelter the person in control. Never the less you may never perpetually brinytain your power and control, the firing of power comes with the consequence of losing control. The Classic American novel One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest written by Ken Kesey has the aspect of Power and Control heavily impact into the novel.The Chief is the narrator of the novel and he perceives the state of ward as a system, however he does not speak and pretends to be deaf I had to keep on acting deaf if I wanted to key out at all this shows personal control over himself. However, Nurse go on or The Big Nurse is the head of the system in the ward as even touchs cannot control her. Harding quotes We are victims of a matriarchy here, my friend, and the doctor is just as helpless against it as we are. This clearly shows the loss of authority and control of doctors to Nurse ratchet down nd how she is in control of the system. However, in order for this system to work and maintain, she creates her routine that is never changed, that is until McMurphy is put into the ward. McMurphy is the one who can escape the system and takes personal control, he demonstrates the possibilit ies the ward members can do and encourages them to look beyond the controls imposed upon them and wants them to have frolic to feel competent and able to achieve things in the world.An example of this is when McMurphy Sneaks out with the ward members and takes them to the docks and steals the boats and go out to sea to go fishing also allowing one of the ward members to take control over the boat. It seems that the sense of ingest power and control gives happiness and cures their issues, an example of this is when Billy had spent the darkness and slept with McMurphys friend, as of this he began to stutter less. However Nurse Ratchet using her power and manipulates Billys mind ended with the go away of him killing himself.Chestwick says she grinds our noses in our mistakes showing the authority and power of the Big Nurse. 1984 enjoin by Ridley Scott, Novel written by George Owell is the Big Hit train that has the topic of Power and Control which is closely related to One Flew O ver the Cuckoos Nest. It is set in the post war England and it Expresses & maintains Power and Control through the use of fear, physical abuse, and threat of an imaginary war and the use of the refreshed speak. War is Peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is Strength This is the slogan of the fellowship which is saying that having a common enemy keeps the mountain of Oceania united, those who are autarkical are doomed to fail and inability of the people to recognize these contradictions cements the power of the authoritarian regime. Winston works at the Ministry of truth, this is where all of history is kept and salve and is changing history to reflect their current ideology of the party.The creation of new speak is to control the way they spoke used to prevent people from conceding any disobedient thoughts against the party and individual thoughts and ideas. Never again will you be opened of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be ca pable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow.We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves This is the main and most visible way through the film of power and control through the minister of Love, ironically this is where the party conducts their torture, mind controlling and idea washing to rehabilitate the misguidance of the citizens of Oceania. After Winston came out of room 101 He gazed up at the enormous face, forty years it had taken him to diddle what kind of smile hid behind the dark mustache.Two gin scented crying trickeled down his face, but it was alright, everything was alright, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved big brother. Another clear way that is shown of control is how large screens of big brother are placed over which is the perception of big brother always watching. Power and Control is a powerful aspect and can be used to man ipulate others without realization. One flew over the cuckoos nest and 1984 is clearly shown of power and control both similar and both different.
