I have been reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" which is a novel that relates the routine of a mental hospital to the daily conformity driven society we live in. I strongly suggest reading it. It mentions the combine and from what my English teacher said it represents how we are sent to the combine to be indistinguishable from the rest of society. This is much like a farming combine, which cuts up the crops and makes them look the same. So the combine represents conformity and how society make us all alike.
