Quote #8
Quote:“He gave a cry. At the last, falling backward, his face appearing to us for a second upside down before he was smothered on the floor by a pile of white uniforms, he let himself cry out: A sound of cornered-animal fear and hate and surrender and defiance, that if you ever trailed coon or cougar or lynx is like the last sound the treed and shot and falling animal makes as the dogs get him, when he finally doesn’t care anymore about anything, but himself and his dying.”
McMurphy knew that for all of this to be over that he would have to sacrifice his life. The other men would then find the strength to leave the hospital and get on with their lives. If he would not have sacrificed his life then the other patients lives would have gone back to the way they were before he arrived at the hospital. McMurphy knew this could not happen and the other patients would be devastated. This quote shows the torture that the men got through while they stay in the hospital. They are subjected to electrotherapy shocks and are restrained to one room with a few games to play. This room is where they stay for 365 day a year and rarely ever get to experience new adventures. Some might think that this causes the patients to become even more insane. McMurphy was brave to sacrifice his life so his friends could continue and find new adventures once they began their lives outside of the ward.
