One Flew Over the Cuckoo nest: Quote 4

“’You’re committed you realize. You are…under the jurisdiction of me...the staff.’ She’s holding up a fist. All those red-orange fingernails burning into her palm. “Under jurisdiction and control” Page 138

Nurse Ratched has a love for control; she is purely dedicated to being in control of things. This quote shows this because she is yelling, a recurring scene in the novel about her control. Not only does she first say that McMurphy is under the jurisdiction of her first, but she also is showing anger along with her power.
