Crazy Bird #4

After reading the last part of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest I have decided to base my last blog on the character McMurphy.  In my previous three blogs I have always ended asking the question is McMurphy really crazy and in my opinion is he's not.  In my own views I believe McMurphy is just a con artist.  A con artist also known as confidence man which basically defines McMurphy's character.  McMurphy enters the hospital with a whole lot of spunk and instantly becomes the patients "hero."  With his witty remarks and cleaver ideas McMurphy showed that he was not afraid of his hospital fate.  McMurphy clearly knew he was not crazy and in reality he just had a messed up childhood.  Getting attention was he's number one priority and being neglected was not an option.  So to obtain some attention McMurphy began to act out in ways that people did not like.  Because people did not like the way he acted they went against him saying he was insane.  McMurphy is the type of person that will not change for any one and because of this strong trait he carries it eventually leads to his demise.
