But, McMurphy takes away her power of sexuality, by revealing her breasts, returning back to the ward Nurse Ratched is noted wearing “a new white uniform…in spite of it being smaller and tighter…it could no longer conceal the fact that she was a woman” (276). During his stay, McMurphy stops cleaning and turns on the television to watch the World Series. She is a nurse in a mental ward trying to get anti-social people to behave properly in society. When you broke a rule you knew it. Want to add some juice to your work? Without this rigid order, there would be chaos, and she absolutely cannot handle that.
