Fog commonly symbolizes danger or lack of clarity. It is a mysterious formation of clouds that block one's sight. The "fog" is Chief's way of escaping reality, and it serves as a symbol in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. When he feels uncomfortable, fog, like slim milk that "rolls in," envelopes him. Ken Kesey uses "fog" as a symbol to express Chief Bromden's emotional instability and his way of "hiding" through life in the ward.
