  1. Aim: How do McMurphy and the patients finally take a stand? Do Now: On p. 131, Bromden remarks, “… it’s painful to see somebody so clear that it’s like looking inside him…” What does he mean by this? Why would this be painful?

  2. “But I tried, though,” he says. “Goddammit, I sure as hell did that much, now didn’t I?” p. 125 • What is McMurphy referring to in this quote? • Why does McMurphy begin to become disappointed with the patients in the ward? • However, what does this incident possibly suggest about McMurphy’s plans to challenge the ward?

  3. The Fog • The fog has become a place in which Bromden intentionally finds himself. Better to be lost in the fog than to be found out in the open. • With reference to p. 128 and 130-131, how does Bromdenfurther define the fog? • How does the fog now become metaphor?

  4. “No. That’s not the truth. I lifted it myself.” p. 142 • How does the Nurse try to undo McMurphy’s seeming victory when he receives 20 votes? • What are Bromden and the other men in the ward doing in this moment? • What has McMurphy become to the men of the ward? When did this happen?

  5. “If somebody’d of come in and took a look, men watching a blank TV, a fifty year old woman hollering and squealing at the back of their heads about discipline and order and recriminations, they’d of thought the whole bunch as crazy as loons.” p. 145 • Great last line! • How did Bromden’s memory with his father foreshadow the events of the ward in this scene? P. 138 • Given that the TV is blank, have the patients won? How so?
