One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest 1

Mcmurphy is set up in the beginning to be an anti-hero. He seems to inspire some of the men, but his gambling and fighting prevent him from being a traditional hero.

The nurse is a clear villain. Readers are instantly inclined to dislike her and she goes against our values. We side with Chief and the other patients and seeing as she tends to treat them cruelly we don't like her.

Chief seems to only act as a narrator for the story. He is neither a hero nor a villain at least from our current perspective.
