How does a major character (not necessarily the main character) in each of the plays, Dale Wassermans One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (based on Ken Keseys novel by that name), Margaret Edsons Wit, and Arthur Millers adaptation of Henrik Ibsens An Enemy of the People, reveal the failure of prevailing assumptions, thereby upholding genuine ethical values by countering the power structure, the majority, or the status quo? (For example, with respect to Wit, you could refer to Nurse Susie as a significant major character.) Explain your responses, making specific references to each of these plays.
