When Nurse Ratched takes away the privilege of the tub room, she is treating the men like little boys. She says it is a consequence, a punishment because they have been sitting in front of the TV during the afternoon instead of doing their work. She gives them no freedom whatsoever and she doesn’t treat them like actual humans. Of course McMurphy’s action of smashing the glass to get one of his cigarettes came as a surprise because he had already announced that he had given up on the nurse.
