Mcmurphy had to die to gain his final victory. He couldn't remain trapped in a lifeless body. The real Mcmurphy died with the lobotomy and Mcmurphy's vegetable tomb of a body couldn't be a symbol of the Nurse's victory or a warning towards rebellion.
2. What message is being pushed?
The status quo at time can and should be disrupted. People cannot be stuffed into cookie cutter molds and expected to perform. They are unique and individual and a society must allow people to live.
3. Why did the nurse drive Cheswick and Billy to suicide?
The suicides were the nurse's way of gaining control over the men and attempting to turn them against Mcmurphy. If she could connect Mcmurphy to death she could scare away his following.
4. What does Chief's bias do for the story?
He gives us a natural inclination towards Mcmurphy because he doesn't like the combine. Chief as a narrator also allows us to gain a lot of extra information other characters didn't receive because his presence is so often ignored and people believe him to be deaf and stupid.
