One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest #1

Cuckoo's Nest has some very interesting characters included, such as the Big Nurse, McMurphy, and the Chief. These three play the parts of the villain, antihero, and hero. As of right now, I would place the Big Nurse as the villain of the story. She sets the rules and enforces them (with the black boys) and is the reason for fear that takes place in the story. Her power and reign is what keeps her title of villain in Cuckoo's Nest. McMurphy is clearly the antihero. As the main character, he's who we root for, but not who we agree with wholeheartedly. His actions seem to be to have a fine time, but he outsmarts the Big Nurse (again, the hero vs. the villain) and rebels against the careful system put in place at the institution. The paths he takes to get his way is not morally or socially acceptable, but he has alright intentions, making him the antihero of the novel. I feel that while it's not a clear cut yet, the Chief could end up to play the role of the hero. It just seems appropriate.
