In a Critical Essay by Robert Forrey he discusses how male critics seem to over praise One flew over the Cuckoo's next. He states that the novel may be conservative, sexist, reactionary, and psychopathological. He discusses how it is a down right "lowbrow" in the terms of sensibility it reflects. He continues by stating that he must have been influenced by a comic book such as Captain Marvel. He talks about how the book was a representation of the older, alcoholic, he-man compared to the newer, drug, hippie culture. He states that he is like Hemingway and Steinbeck because gives of ideals such as drinking, whoring, hunting and gambling. He also states that he is like them because "in depicting his hero as a masculine Christ whom the conspiring world of weak-kneed men and bitchy women try to emasculate". He states that it is a Christ analogy. This criticism is very negative and focuses on the negatives that the book brings out or discusses, he does not bring up allusions that Kesey might have been trying to make just takes everything literally, there for I think he got a one sided story, which gave me a one sided argument.
