How dense could I get?

Right up until the showdown with Billy, I actually found Nurse Ratched to be a somewhat sympathetic character. To be blunt (and profane!): she was a cold bitch, but she was also responding to McMurphy, and he was an asshole.

For most of the movie, it could've gone two ways. I was half expecting something to go terribly wrong on one of McMurphy's excursions. Whoops, that guy really is insane, and he really did just shoot that guy with a harpoon...
