Cuckoo's Nest Part Three

I have mentioned McMurphy in my first post but only for one short segment of it. So for this post I have decided to dive deeper into McMurphy's character because his character has come along way since Part One of the book. McMurphy, along with Nurse Ratched I believe is one of the most powerful characters in the book. He has the power of persuasion, and he easily gets along with other members in the ward. He is looked up to because of his courage when it comes to Nurse Ratched. In this part of the book McMurphy persuades the men to go on a fishing trip, despite the Nurse's wishes. All of the men loved the fact that they were breaking the Nurse's rules. After the inncident at the gas station, McMurphy teached the men to stand up for themselves, and even take advantage of their mental problems to a certain extent. Before McMurphy was introduced the other men in the ward didn't feel normal, or accepted by society. They felt like there was something wrong with them, and that it was all their fault. McMurphy convinces them otherwise and shows them the brightside of things. He basicly takes the blindfold's off their eyes that they have had on for so long. This trip allowed them to see the world, and now they all have a newborn confidence about them. This is a very moving part in the book because this is where i believe that all of their chracters transform and this is all on McMurphy's account. Nurse Ratched also now begins to view McMurphy as a threat because she see's the change amongst the men that she once had wrapped around her fingers. Now the nurse is growing angry and frustrated, and she might begin to change herself.
