One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest: Reading Response 12

Pages 276-311

Nurse Ratched once again doesn’t fail to start the outburst, this time about Billy and what his mother will think about him sleeping with Candy. I was not expecting at all for McMurphy to rip open Nurse Ratched’s shirt. Because he was so angry with her she was probably expecting some sort of outburst, but none as shocking as this. Many of the acutes start to leave the ward, many of them to the outside world. They have given McMurphy so many shock treatments that he is brain dead, he starts to act like a zombie and it is sad. Nurse Ratched is moved to the medical ward for the time being. When Bromden suffocates McMurphy, I believe it was his job, McMurphy wouldn’t have wanted to live the rest of his life and be remembered how they had made him. Bromden lifts the control panel and throws it out of the window and is set free this is a big statement to make at the end of the book, and Bromden’s life will just begin for him.
