After I finished the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I noticed many similarities between the novel and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. Characters from both novels had certain similarities with each other. For example, Millie reminded me of the patients in the hospital. Millie and the patients in the hospital both succumb to everything that is said to them. Millie does not read books while the patients do everything the Nurse says. The character Faber in Fahrenheit 451 reminds me of McMurphy because of the guidance he gives Guy Montag. Faber guides Guy Montag into acquiring more knowledge and letting him be his true self just as McMurphy did to Chief Bromden. Another character resemblance that I noticed was the character shift of Chief Bromden and Guy Montag. Both changer their attitudes toward life and take bigger risks after their guidance. Nurse Ratched is similar to the society and Beatty because they all have the power in society in which they try to control each individual's rights.
