One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Part 2

In Part 2, McMurphy’s character starts to change. He no longer tries so hard to bother Nurse Ratched. The staff is very confused with McMurphy’s action. Some believe that he will no longer be rebellious. Others, however, think McMurphy is a dangerous threat to the staff and patients. Everyone, except Nurse Ratched, feel that McMurphy should be moved to the disturbed. Nurse Ratched feels differently about this. She knows that she has control over McMurphy and she can order him around and determine how long he can stay at the hospital. 

McMurphy starts to realize how powerful Nurse Ratched really is. He then tries to obey the rules of the ward. What McMurphy fails to realize is how influential his actions are to the rest of the patients at the hospital. He understands once Cheswick kills himself. McMurphy then decides to obey the rules of the ward, but in his own way.

For example, he punches a window and then tells Nurse Ratched that the window was so clean he didn’t notice it was even there. I don’t really understand what McMurphy was trying to do by acting out the way he did. It makes me wonder about how the story will end up. Will the Nurse allow McMurphy to stay with the acute’s? Or will she have him leave the hospital or maybe moved to the disturbed?
