One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Reading One

Nurse Ratched is a villain because she views the patients as objects and doesn't truly care about them. Even when Chief is being shaved and he is being resistant, she doesn't take the time to try and talk to him and calm him down. She just shoves pills down his throat to knock him out and so she wouldn't have to deal with him. She wants to fix the patients and send them on their way. She took an acute and instead of taking the time to care for him, she made him worse and now he is a vegetable in the chronic wing of the institute. The Chief may or may not end up being a hero, right now the reader trusts him because he is a patient, he is telling the story, and he is the one the reader trusts. He may end up being just a character in the book with importance but not hero worthy. Mr. McMurry is an anti-hero because he brings life to the mental hospital and he shows up with a boasting personality and depends attention and doesn't let Mrs. Ratched push him around. He gives in and complies with the rules but on his own time.
