McMurphy the symbol of a savior

  1. How is McMurphy the symbol of a savior in the novel? How does he “save” several of
    the patients in the ward? What are your views on the ultimate price that he pays in order
    to be a savior?
  2. How would the story be different if it took place today? Do you think McMurphy would
    have had the same outcome? How would modern times impact the story and the main
    characters? Elaborate as much as you can.
  3. Provide an alternate ending to the story. How would you have ended this story? How
    would this new alternate ending impact Nurse Ratched, McMurphy, the Chief, and other
    patients in the ward? Elaborate as much as you can.
