My favorite character in the novel is McMurphy, because of his will to fight against Nurse Ratched. I personally love the way that he just doesn't care about the way the Nurse is trying to control them and stands up to her. I love how McMurphy talks back and laughs in the faces of the people at the ward. I really liked when they were making him brush his teeth at certain times and he just said "god forbid someone brushes there teeth five min till 630" making fun of them. He doesn't care if they get mad at him because he sees through the combine and what they try to plant in the heads of the patients. I like that McMurphy tries to communicate with Bromden even when everyone says he deaf and can't even hear. I like that he treats Bromden like a normal person, because he is even if he was deaf, he still is a normal person. He respected him when no one else knew any better then to not talk to him. I like the kind of person McMurphy is. His spirit of rebellion. One of my favorite things that McMurphy did in the book was break the glass. McMurphy was fed up with the Nurse and all she was hiding behind her wall, and he walked up and hit the glass and broke it. He pretended that he didn't even see the glass and  it was an accident to break it. He wanted to make a statement to the other men in the ward that even though they are just patients and the Nurse and staff is in charge of them they don't have to take it. The staff hides the real world from the patients and McMurphy metaphorically broke that boundary. He is that person to push the boundaries and thats why I like him. I like that he isn't afraid, even in the end of the book he acts brave when he knows he is either going into shock therapy or getting a lobotomy. I also really liked when he tried to get all the men to vote on getting the right to watch the World Series. He wants to see the outside world and he wanted the men to see it too. I like that he fought for everyone to have a good time. I also like that he tried so hard to get everyones vote to watch the game, and he did, but then Nurse Ratched said that the votes were too late, but he did fight for what he wanted and fought for the other men in the ward.
