Nurse Ratched
Nurse Ratched plays the role of the Antagonist in the story. She is a former army nurse and now the head of the ward and runs it with an iron fist. She hides all of her emotions behind a stiff serious facade, no one will ever be able to pierce her thick skin. She appoints her staff cleverly and the margin of error is extremely small, a mistake would be hazardous; for the worker of course. With the exception of Randle McMurphy and Chief Bromden, the patients are terrified of her and cower from the cold look in her eyes. Her manipulative attitude takes all traces of self-esteem in an inmate and crushes it.
