It's so important that the Chief is the narrator because he's an underdog and you can't help but want him to prosper. McMurphy is really just a swaggering ass, but because he's an advocate for the underdog we can forgive him and still root for him. If it wasn't for the Chief and our bond with him, I don't thing the reader would like McMurphy and the book wouldn't be as good. (less)
