What is McMurphys purpose?


The clear glass turned hazy when McMurphy shoved his fist through it. For a while the system, referring to the hospital, had been running smooth. It seemed like McMurphy had given up, but I quickly learned that this was not the case. At first, I, like others around me, thought he was biding his time, but then it appeared not so. McMurphy breaking the glass of the nurses’ station ran shivers down my spine. That incident is where the story changed. Instead of McMurphy simply harassing the Big Nurse he has now sent a message. My question is, what does he really want? My mind drifts with possibilities, but one seems to separate itself from the others; he wants to show the men how to live. There was a time in this book that McMurphy only cared about himself, but the window was his breaking point. I firmly believe that McMurphy, though he hasn’t shown it yet, really cares about the others. I predict that throughout the story McMurphy will take a stronger interest in the Chief, and eventually they will leave the facility together.
