Cuckoo's Nest: Two

In Part Two we are really introduced to the character of McMurphy. At first McMurphy is considered the tough, rule breaking man of the ward. As the book goes on you begin to see the McMurphy slowly begins to become like every other patient, and he stops rebelling and just follows the Big Nurses rules. When he begins to do this he notices that the other patients aren’t looking at him the same way as they did before. This is when he realizes that he has an obligation to get the rest of the patients out of the trance they are in and give them a reality check. The fact that McMurphy has confidence in himself, and stands up to the Big Nurse shows the patients that he is somebody to be trusted and somebody who will protect them. He becomes somewhat of a role model to them. I would really like to see how far McMurphy’s character gets him in this book.
