McMurphy's Rage

One turning point in the book that interested me is when McMurphy uses physical actions against the nurse, in lieu of using his words to attack her in a way. Billy's suicide effects McMurphy because two people in the ward have killed themselves, and some would argue that it is McMurphy's fault. they were both his friends, and they both looked up to him. The last thing that sets off McMurphy is when Nurse Ratched tells McMurphy it is his fault that Bill slit his own throat. He physically lunches out at her and chokes her until he is pulled off. In the clip below, it shows how McMurphy's rage against the Nurse is finally let out, which results in unpleasant consequences.
