Lucas
Jackson and Randall Patrick McMurphy serve as iconic American heroes,
brazenly defying authority, helping a group of emasculated men recover
some semblence of their manhoods in the face of an oppressive authority.
Moreover, each takes on a Christ-like role, leading his respective
disciples (prisoners or mental patients) toward dignity, suffering and
deteriorating under the burden of leadership, and eventually sacrificing
himself in a selfless defiance of the demand for conformity. Discuss
some of the more interesting parallels between the characters. How do
Kesey and the director/screenwriter of
Cool Hand Luke cast their main characters as a religious figures? What significant differences exist between the two?
