One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest: Reading Response 8

Pages 171-212

Nurse Ratchet, although trained, doesn’t seem to have much knowledge about the mentally ill. She is starting to show more and more of her lack of intelligence in the subject, when she scolds Sefelt for not taking his medication, right after he has been convulsing, this shows her insensitivity for the men. The way the Nurse treats them is inhumane and just cruel, their problems are probably being increased by staying in the institute. It was no shock that McMurphy had given up on Nurse Ratched; she got to decided when he was allowed to leave the institute, so he finally gave up on her. It was sad when Billy explained why he couldn’t leave the institute; he said that he wasn’t big and strong like McMurphy and that people laughed at him.
