It would appear that Mcmurphy is in control. He is constantly disrupting the ward and its staff. Most importantly he is clearly having his effect on Big Nurse. The viewing of the World Series game is just one example of Mcmurphy's dominance. He violates the schedule and convinces the rest of the ward to do the same. Even when Big Nurse turns off the TV, they remain watching the blank screen.
Chief seems a little crazy, but he seems to be reliable. I trust him as a narrator, it is just necessary to discern what is fact and fiction in his story telling. Mcmurphy's presence seems to have given chief some hope. He feels that maybe the Nurse's power is no longer absolute and sometimes the fog can be lifted.
I want to see a happy ending for the men of the ward. I like Mcmurphy's presence much more than that of the nurse and while he is cheating the men out of their money I feel he is helping them. He is a greater force of good so I hope he has success, but first and foremost I was people like Chief and Billy to get better.
