and he breaks a window. This indicates just how far people will go for their beliefs. McMurphy’s belief is that a cigarette provides the amount of comfort needed to relax in an environment he finds so unnerving. I predict that despite the Big Nurse’s efforts to take one of the patient’s source of happiness, he will always make sure to get his vengeance on her one way or another. I think this because it happened in the situation with the cigarettes, so if she takes his poker games away, something
