Cuckoo's Nest part 3

With the influence he has over the other patients, McMurphy begins to encourage them to really rebel on their own. However, McMurphy doesn't give in to the Nurse so soon. HE stills takes her lightly and jokes about serious matters. McMurphy planned a trip with a hooker with to get out of the ward. This shows that he didn't respect the Nurse's authority and that he could get away with whatever he wanted. The nurse did not approve of the trip but Spivey did. This angered the Nurse because McMurphy went behind her back and she couldn't do anything about it. In this section we start to learn more about Chief Bromden and his past. He begins to inwardly react more to what's going on around him. He has a flashback to when he was young and how he was always ignored. We learn that when he was young, people came to his settlement attempting to buy the land for government renovation. From what we learn he wasn't really given any ones full attention. This corresponds to the modern day chief because he contemplated blowing his cover to sign up for the fishing trip. This puts him in a peculiar position because he never had anything tempt him so much. This is interesting to see how this plays out because with Bromden in the picture a lot of people could change their attitudes because of things they did or said around him.
