Character Analysis- One Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Character	Emotional response	Created by
Randall McMurphy	-       Joy -       Sadness -       Sympathy	- McMurphy is the first character in the institution that gets the inmates excited and develops an incredibly bond with them. He also teaches and guides them through internal endeavours such as loss of identity and independence, which is heavily illustrated in the scene in which McMurphy takes the inmates fishing, showing them the outside for the first time in a while. I also feel empathetic towards, particularly at the end where he is lobotomised at the hands of the system.
Nurse Ratched	-       Anger -       Hatred -       Disgust	Nurse Ratched is a manipulative human being who uses her position of power within the institution to seemingly place the inmates within a state of displeasure. Her obsession with the order of the hospital, especially once McMurphy checks in, she feels like he is a threat to the system put in place, and how aggravated she seems when he counter acts her demands, which can be seen when McMurphy pretends to watch a baseball game and gets the rest of the patients to cheer along with him, even after Nurse Ratched rufuses to show the game.
Billy Bibbett	- Empathy - Anger - Sadness - Happiness	Billy Bibbett is an innocent young man, placed into the institution as a result of his depression and suicidal tendencies. Along with his stammer, this causes him to shy away from the rest of the inmates and not really associate himself with the rest of the group. It's thanks to McMurphy, that Bibbett begins to become more open as a person and starts to explore more of what a young man his age should experience. Because of this, we feel proud of Bibbett's progress and are glad of his partaking in his new discoveries.
