The novel is read from a character's perspective, so I thought that an appropriate product that could work alongside the book could be a diary, that would have the design on it as well.
In terms of the in store display for the book, I need to research into what products, if any, could be available to purchase or simple decorate the stall that the books are placed on
The novel's symbolisms;
I need to bare in mind that the novel's target audience is commonly young adult- older adult. Therefore the products, if there will be, need to be appropriate as a complimentary product that would appeal the adults as appose to children.
I found this extract whilst reading through symbolisms into the novel,
Several other symbolic aspects of the setting help underline the
true evil that resides in the asylum. It is clearly visible that Kesey borrows elements from the Bible to support the struggle between good versus evil. McMurphey is consistently displayed as a Christ figure - a man who must lead others to salvation against oppression, and in the process of doing so must also sacrifice himself. It is also interesting that the image of the Cross appears in several instances of the story. The first of these instances is when the patient Ellis is described to the reader. His manner of restraint is peculiar - he is fixed to the wall, with his arms outstretched and his legs bound. Obviously, this mimics the position of Christ when He was crucified. When Bromden and McMurphey are being punished in the shock therapy room, the machines they are placed on are described as "cross-like tables". The halo of electrodes through which the electricity is administered parallels the painful crown of thorns that Christ was forced to wear. The elements of evil in the story are defined through symbols in the setting. Could a religious aspect, symbolism be included into the in store display somehow? perhaps the table being shaped as a cross? or something similar.
There is also reference to the visual representation of 'Fog' throughout, so this could also be a feature of the in store display.
