He then starts to place a bet with the patients how he can crack Nurse Ratched without getting displaced and being sent for electroshock. Further down in the course of the events his demands in challenging Nurse Ratched, he ends up being the blame for the death of Billy
When Billy has sex with a girl, Candy, at the ward, Nurse Ratched confronts Billy. Billy speaks without stuttering. A showing of confidence on his part. Then Nurse Ratched through the power of suggestion says she would have to tell Billy’s mother about this, which in turn causes Billy to commit suicide from the shame of his mother knowing and of turning McMurphy in as the one who caused the meeting of Billy and
The illusion of the film The Day of the Locust really show the dishonesty of what a person will do to get what they want. In this film the leading lady Faye made Homer Simpson her own little puppet. Homer a very sensitive man instantly fell for Faye and did whatever she ask him to
Big nurse replies “its good therapy”. Another time she provoked a patient at the end of the book she caused him to kill his self. It was Billy Bibbit and nurse Ratched threatened to inform his mother about his disobedient actions.
Nurse Ratched also uses fear to manipulate the patients through the media cuttings about the danger of fishing she places on the walls in part 2 and likewise, at the group meeting in Part 1 where Nurse Ratched encourages the patients to humiliate Harding about his wife. McMurphy describes the other patients like “a bunch of chicken’s at a peckin’ party”, attacking each other in fear to prevent them being
This is viewed through the group meetings, medical strategies and Nurse Ratched and her aggressive team of Black Boys. The group meetings were filled with shame in guilt from the patients only to pleasure Nurse Ratched. The medical strategies were performed on those who were completely sane and those who turned physically mental because of it, to satisfy Nurse Ratched and keep the order in her ward. Lastly, Nurse Ratched’s tactic of fear resulted in Billy committing suicide and because of the physical torment by the Black Boys McMurphy willingly took the electroshock, which in a sense is admitting to doing wrong since he is punishing himself. The ward is a perfect example of a place of detriment, without caregivers, no sense of hope, and abusive aids, which trigger fear, shame and

Julia eventually learns of Winstons plans, and even helps him. But she never betrays him like O'Brien does. Eventually, Winston is caught and taken to a place with bright underground rooms where criminals are taken to be interrogated. He is tortured, and mentally beaten so badly that by the end of the book he loves Big Brother. He can't think a single thought without the permission of the government and he doesn't love Julia anymore.
When McMurphy goes over to confront her we see her slide the glass open this shows how nurse Ratched places herself as the higher authority and how much of a barrier there is between her the men. Another scene where Nurse Ratched belittles and takes away the men’s humanity is when she is talking to Billy Bibbit after finding the he had slept with Candy. When Billy first starts talking he is confident with no lisp but as soon as Nurse Ratched starts looking down on him and says to him “Billy I will have to tell your mother about your behaviour” billy shrinks and starts getting nervous making his lisp come back this scene symbolises how much Nurse Ratched downgrades Billy making him feel less confident and ashamed. This scene shows that even though all people no matter what race religion or gender have a right to freedom but that freedom can be cut down straight away by
