With that being said, the visual differences between him and the other patients within the institution who are evidently mentally ill are vast. Aside his loud nature, McMurphy’s attire is different to the institutions plain and bland uniforms worn by his fellow inmates (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Provisions Of The Normal, 2011). In the image…
