One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Reading Two

The actues are getting the best of the rivalry between Nurse Ratchet and McMurphy because they are able to follow along with his attempts to make Ratchet lose her temper, which is often times funny. Many times when McMurphy is trying to upset Ratchet, he is merely being idiotic. When he leaves the bathroom in his boxers, it was a good laughing moment and he also gained on his goal of making her mad. At this point in the story, my perception of Chief is that he plays an important role of portraying the story from an outsider view point, but we also get the thoughts of an actual patient. I think he has the possibility of being a hero at the end of the book, but right now he is just staying in the background. McMurphy has made Chief, in some aspects more frustrated with the system because he didn't necessarily enjoy many of the things Ratchet did, but he never fought them. Chief rolled with the punches and went on about his day, but now with McMurphy, Chief can't roll with the punches because he doesn't know what to expect. At this point, I am rooting for McMurphy because he is bringing life to the ward and he is standing up to Ratchet because even though he is just trying to make her mad, he is in some ways bettering the lives of the patients. McMurphy may not go about everything the best of ways, but he is good intentions that will most likely end him up on top.
