GENDER ROLES McMurphy: Since coming out of retirement, McMurphy regains his power over the patients and wearing down the Big Nurse. Nurse Ratched: Though she still has plently of power over everybody, her patience is starting to wear thin. ANALYTIC QUESTIONS 1. Why did McMurphy come out of retirement? 2.Why did Bromden only start talking to McMurphy? What could this mean? Do you think he will talk to the others? 3.Why do you think Doctor Spivey is convincing Nurse Ratched to become more lenient with the patients, as well as giving permission to them himself? 4.Why does Kesey choose to have a dominant female role to be in charge of the ward?
