One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 8, narrated by Isaac BirchallChief Bromden narrates more how he perceives the power of the Nurse on the Ward. He believes that she has the power to slow down or speed up time just by turning a dial on her control panel. She can make sure that no one has too much time with a visiting family member, or she can slow them down so that the men just have to sit alone with their thoughts for days and weeks on end to guarantee that the men suffer longer and worse than before. There is a tape that plays on loop in the day room. The music is just quiet enough to zone it out if you have been on the ward long enough, but loud enough to make any new patient start to lose their mind. McMurphy is playing cards with some of the other Acutes, and he is getting a bit antsy with the music playing over their heads. Harding tells McMurphy that pretty much everyone has zoned the music out, and Cheswick chimes in to say that the only time the music isn’t playing is when they are sleeping. Harding prods McMurphy joking that something as small as some music is going to him lose his bet against the patients. Chief then goes to describe how McMurphy plays cards. He is a true conman; he is able to lead the men into the game with his talking, drawling, and laughing, and is able to keep the men entertained enough to win all of their packets of smokes, and then at the last moment let them win back their smokes to guarantee that they keep playing.As the night goes on, the lights get dimmed, and everyone has to make their way to the nurse’s station to get their medication. After a brief altercation, the nurse’s station closes early and it becomes the first night in years that Chief Bromden has been to bed unmedicated.
