CUCKOO'S NEST 4

I did not expect the ending that Kesey writes in part 4 of Cuckoo's Nest. I believe that it is the best part of the book and made the book worth reading. While the patients and McMurphy are out on their fishing trip the big nurse plots against McMurphy. She shows the patients a different side of McMurphy, a more evil side of him. She tells them that he is taking their money and isn't really the hero like they all believe. McMurphy then tries to take the control panel. He gets chief to help him and before they know it they are fighting with workers and are sent up to disturbed by the big nurse. While in disturbed McMurphy learns that he might be getting an operation. He doesn't want to be cut so he chokes the big nurse so badly she can not even speak anymore. McMurphy returns to his old floor and is now a "vegetable." Chief sufficates McMurphy with a pillow and then leaves the hospital. Overall, Chief proves that he has a bigger role and just because he was silent doesn't mean he didn't make an impact on the novel. The main character is left brain dead and then killed. McMurphy had so much power and was looked at as a hero to all of his fellow patients. In the end, Chief is left standing and finally gets out of the hospital to live life the way he wants too.
