The Chief killed McMurphy because he thought McMurphy was ignoring him?

Chief did not kill McMurphy because he thought McMurphy was ignoring him. That just sounds plain ridiculous. Chief killed McMurphy because when he saw the lobotomy scars on McMurphy's forehead, he couldn't bear to see him in that state and smothered him with a pillow in an act of mercy killing. If you ask me, it was a very sad, sad ending.

I agree. But it was not a bad ending IMO. share
I suppose it was a good ending because of the emotion around it. But, not only was the death of McMurphy pretty sad but the death of Billy Bibbit was even more heart-wrenching, as well. I cannot believe that after driving Billy Bibbit to commit suicide by threatening to tell his mother that he lost his virginity, Nurse Ratched nonchalantly told the other men to carry on the day like normal as if nothing happened, as if none of them saw that ghastly image of Billy lying on a floor in that pool of blood. I had difficulty understanding Nurse Ratched and I still do, but I think I am beginning to see why many people think she was so horrible.

Because in all the scenes where she frustrated people (not turning on the ballgame, threatening to tell Billy's mother, etc) she appeared to get great pleasure out of doing it. She liked playing with people, and getting them upset. Like REALLY upset. And when she told her boss at the meeting that she'd like McMurphy to stay here, I get the feeling she only suggested it so she could continue having control over him, and possibly even setting him up to lead him to getting a lobotomy. She abused her position of authority. share
Of course that's why Ratched wanted McMurphy to stay.
I am still marveling over the fact that coolbrett is "just beginning to see why many people think she (Nurse Ratched) was so horrible." Just beginning to see why? What more evidence could anyone need?

I didn't get it either. But your explanation of it being a euthanasia makes perfect sense.
shareI wondered about that too until I looked it up on Wikipedia. It was a "mercy killing".
shareIt was a sad ending but it seemed right?
