Cuckoo's Nest III

Part Three takes a drastic turn from Part two. In the beginning it seems as though Bromden describes a pessimistic life surrounded by negative people and a Combine with a scandalous "plan." It seems as though McMurphy withdraws his attempts to conform to Nurse Ratched and has his own plan to change the ward. Because his rebellious attitude McMurphy enourages Bromden to finally speak after so many years. Even though he finally spoke Bromden still needs to be cautous about who knows or secrets he might have heard might put him introuble with the Big Nurse. I do believe this foreshadows a optimistic ending to the story. Bromden breaking his silence after so long to McMurphy is definitely a good omen to the helpless people in the ward. Bromden truely believes McMurphy can rebel and, once and for all, ultimately challenge Nurse Ratched.

Kesey makes it very evident that McMurphy is a strong character. I wouldn't say manipulative. It could be if McMurphy uses the patients mental health to his advantage. I believe that he is a strong leader and someone the patients of the ward have wanted to see in a long time to stand against Ratched.
