How does Big Nurse and McMurphy’s behaviors affect the story?

McMurphy is a very strong headed, Independent and open minded man. When he was first introduced into the mental hospital all of the patients were very curious and unsure on who this guy was and what his intentions were. The nurses and black boy’s struggled to get McMurphy to follow the rules that have been established before he arrived. McMurphy establishes his very strong headed behavior when the nurse insists he must follow the rules. He rejected her with saying “Ya Know, that is the ex-act thing somebody always tells me about the rules… Just when they figure out i'm the dead opposite.” (26) The Nurses were scared to see what will happen with McMurphy and his strong mentality. They discuss how they feel

He does this by antagonizing her with situations that make her uncomfortable like only being in a towel in front of her and making seual jokes to her. ””Our dear Miss Ratched? Our sweet, smiling, tender angel of mercy, Mother Ratched, a ball cutter? why, friend, that's most unlikely. Dear Miss ratchet? Our sweet, smiling, tender angel of mercy, mother ratchet, a ball cutter? Wife why, friend, that's most unlikely.” -McMurphy (60) McMurphy also tries to change how things are traditionally ran like when he made all the acute’s vote to change the old, boring news that they've watched for years. They suggested baseball and even though the vote was everyone, Big Nurse shut down the problem by making a ridiculous excuse. This is similar to the political election today as well. During the election the popular vote was for Hillary Clinton and the Electoral vote was for Donald Trump. Like the popular vote in the story that was for watching baseball, Hillary Clinton lost. The two situations were majority votes and since both the government and Big Nurse have more power, nothing will change unless they are

    Foster asserts distinction between McMurphy and Bromdem, claiming that the reason McMurphy is so successful in his actions against the Big Nurse is that he isn’t cagey or restrained, like Bromden. After describing McMurphy’s change from hustler to uncalcluated risk taker, the author depicts exactly how his transformation contributes to the growth of the patients that overall turns himself into a victim in the process. Foster goes as far to say that the reason that the patients, prodominantly Bromden, become so much stronger throughout the novel is because as McMurphy goes through his transformation, he is essentially giving power to the patients. I can use Foster’s identification of McMurphy’s shift to fully explain how the patients in the…

    Within countless historical texts and literary publications, many philosophers voice their beliefs on human motivation. Some of the most notable and widely discussed theories are made by Abraham Maslow, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Maslow argues that people desire to become the best that they can possibly be, while Nietzsche believes that people are driven by the will to gain power. In One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey explores these different motivational forces by illustrating them through the personalities of characters such as Chief and Nurse Ratched. The philosophical concepts that both characters exemplify, relate back to the idea of pursuing and achieving a goal.…

    Throughout most of the story, McMurphy constantly challenges the Big Nurse in charge of the ward, Nurse Ratched, and ridicules her futile attempts to force him to conform to the monotonous life shared by the other patients. Although McMurphy is able to change many of the patient’s lives for the better, Nurse Ratched ultimately wins by essentially turning him into a vegetable and regaining…

    (31) The precisely planned schedule is the principal way the nurse remains in authority, due to her attention to detail. With the exception of McMurphy, it is shown that each of the patients, in the initial sequences of the novel, act too cowardly to fight against the Nurse’s totalitarian methods. The nurse remains in power for the majority of the novel, but it is not until the conclusion through which she loses her dominance over the men. The strictly run ward shows the leading ability of the Nurse. Wwhen the men finally overcome her authoritarianism with the martyrdom of McMurphy, her power ceases to…

    Obviously McMurphy is seen to be a sturdy leader by the Acutes, strong enough to stand up to Nurse Ratched and her ward policies. However, he cannot continue to embrace this reputation if he wishes to influence the nurse. When he first steps back from the group meeting, observing instead of participating in it, “he surprised everybody on the ward, [...] Surprised everyone but the Big Nurse” (p. 172) This implies that the patients are shocked to see a resilient man belittle himself as the image the nurse wants.…

    Randle McMurphy is a man committed in a psychiatric ward but even the doctors believe that “this man may be feigning psychosis to escape the drudgery of the work farm” and isn't necessarily psychopathic (Kesey 47). There is a checklist that can lead to a diagnosis of a psychopath; superficial charm and glibness, inflated sense of self worth, constant need for stimulation, lying pathologically, conning others; being manipulative, lack of remorse or guilt, shallow emotions, and callousness or lack of empathy. If McMurphy exhibits most or all of these traits, he may be a psychopath. Superficial Charm and Glibness McMurphy definitely shows superficial charm and glibness. When he “makes a date with the girl pours coffee in the kitchen for when…

    Harding is defending the hospital’s system and an even grander retrospect to society as a whole. He himself admits to being one of the weaker mind or status, thus granting the Nurse power to “devour” him and whoever else is considered “weak.” Similar to Darwinism in that the strong stay strong by devouring the weak, survival of the fittest, whether the tactics to withhold power are just or not: It’s accepted. McMurphy symbolizes the individual, because he argues with Harding that they should rebel against authority for their freedom. McMurphy says, “She can’t have you whipped.…

    She intends, literally, to make it a struggle to the death. McMurphy dominates the ward, and even when he tries to conform after he learns that his dismissal will only be at the Big Nurse’s approval, the patients are no longer willing to accept the authority as status quo. When McMurphy realizes that the plight of his fellow patients is more important than his own escape of this institution, he sets about to bolster their own manhood and self confidence to make them able to regain lives in society again. In this contribution to make others successful, the term “madness” becomes more ridiculous as an adjective assigned to McMurphy’s nature. While some may view McMurphy as insane or suffering from “madness” in the process he uses to heal the other patients, he is only giving them something to…

    As McMurphy is introduced into the hospital, he recognizes this, which causes him to lash out at Nurse Ratched and defy her demands. It is never explicitly shown how much time the film covers from beginning to end, but it is apparent that the patients within the hospital are not getting better, and are possibly getting worse. It can be argued that one of the main reasons due to them not recovering is an unhealthy relationship between the nurses and their patients, especially between Nurse Ratched and the patients. Within mental hospitals, patients have a group of professionals that contribute to their treatment. However, nurses are one of the most involved professionals with the patients because they are tending to them so…
