As the story goes on, our view and opinion as the reader on Chief Bromsden changes throughout the story. Since he's the narrator we know about him more than any other character in the story. He's very sneaky because he fakes being deaf just so he can hear what others say without them knowing he's listening. He also hallucinates frequently which makes him unreliable and his narration sometimes confusing. He frequently talks about a "fog machine" and believes Nurse Ratched a "machine."
Although he's not mentally stable, he can also be a trustworthy person. Since he hears everything everybody says, he knows the characters better than anybody else in the institution. Although, he sees actual things as something they aren't, there is some truth behind it. For example, he sees fog whenever he's in a stressful situation. Also he sees Butse Ratched as a machine because she works like one. She's very organized and works efficiently.
