  1. Aim: How does McMurphy begin to become a martyr? Do Now: Why is McMurphy willing to get Electro Shock Treatment rather than apologize to Nurse Ratched? Consider the following: “They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.” - Mahatma Gandhi Is McMurphy’s cause worth dying for? HW: Finish the book!

  2. “My skull’s too thick for them to hurt me. And if they can’t hurt me they can’t hurt you.” p. 282 • What does McMurphy become in this moment, showing bravery just to comfort Chief Bromden? • Why might this be ultimate goal?

  3. “Do I get a crown of thorns?” p. 283 • What is the allusion here? • How is McMurphy beginning to see himself?

  4. Electro-Shock Therapy • If the ward is to be seen as a microcosm of the oppression done to an individual in society, then what does the Electro-Shock Therapy symbolize?

  5. Practice Stream of Consciousness • Chief Bromden’s electro-shock treatments are narrated in a stream of consciousness style – moving from thought to thought, memory to memory. • What about McMurphy? Provide a stream of consciousness style paragraph from the point of view of McMurphy during his treatments.
