Why do you think Mcmurphy stayed in the ward when he had the chance to escape?
-I think he stayed, partly due to his ego. He always had to shop Nurse Ratchet one more time before he could finally leave. But also because he built a good relationship with the other members of the ward, and he would feel bad about leaving them there, having to put up with Nurse Ratchet and nobody there to support them,
Why was Nurse Ratchet so brutal during group therapies?
-Because she had her book full of her patients fears, weaknesses, and secrets, she would use this to attack the patients in every which way to lower their self-esteem. This also helped improve her power over them, while she mocked and emberassed the patients one by one.
Was Nurse Ratchet or Mcmurphy the cause of Billy's scuicide?
-Although Mcmurphy brought Candy into the ward, and basically made him sleep with her. I thought it was Nurse Ratchet's fault for his death, because she knew how to frighten him, and that was his mother. She took this time as an advantage to display her power over the patients by threatening Billy by calling his mom. This is what really drove him over the edge and made him take his life.
Why doesn't Nurse Ratchet call the patients by their first name?
-I think she wants to try to show that they have no connection what so ever. Typically acquantinces will address one another with their first name. Sp she calls them all by their last name to show to them that they are not friends, she is there to do her duty and leave. Also it is a way for her to feel even more superior to her patients as she doesn't even feel the need to know their names.
