Cuckoo

Did I like the play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't exactly enjoy the book or the play itself, but in class, I enjoyed listening to everyone play the different roles. In the play I did like McMurphy's character though. I know it sounds kind of plain since I enjoyed the main character of the play the best, but to me it doesn't matter much.
McMurphy reminds me of the "tough guy" that ends up going soft by the end of what ever event your in; like the end of the play with Chief Bromden. I guess that's almost the same with a lot of us today. Everyone always puts up their own shields, no matter how open you truly are. Of course, someone ends up meeting you, and there's this click that happens and you realize you can be a lot more of yourself instead of something that you're not. I guess the reason why I liked McMurphy so much is the fact that he reminds me the most of what real life is like.
There is also Nurse Ratched.............
She's another person or character in the play that reminds me of something that's in real life. I can't believe one person can be so mean, or corrupt as another way of saying it. I mean, I can believe it, because there are people like that now and in our world, but usually those are the people I try not to hit heads with. She's very manipulative and I like the way Nurse Ratched went about doing certain things. She is sneaky, and somewhat of a backstabber. She made me like the play a little more, since she brought so much conflict into it.

You make some really good points that show how McMurphy's character is universal. That's the sign of a good work of literature... when you can apply it to real life.
