Reflection Paper
What I think McMurphy must have done to avoid a tragic death is not to
underestimate Nurse Ratched's power to influence both inside and outside the facility.
Change everything he doesn't like about the institution. Additionally, Chief is said to
have been able to keep his so-called savior, McMurphy alive, even though he was in
severe physical pain.
My own opinion is that the main character has benefited from the counseling or
group sessions held inside the facility since he was able to watch how his convicts
interacted with one another via their use. Although, in my opinion, the group gathering
does not assist those who are mentally ill because Nurse Ratched did not step in to
address the issue of the prisoners who were the focus of the meeting instead, she
allowed them argue with one another and did nothing but look at those people. During
group counseling, the nurse only manipulates the inmates' fears and desires. A so-
called group meeting allows Nurse Ratched to achieve her personal goals: order and
power over the inmates.
