However, Nurse Ratched thinks he is bothering them and should be removed from the room. It seems that Nurse Ratched is increasingly threatened by McMurphy and his antics of constant rebellion and disobedience. It is at this point that the cause of Chief Bromden's psychological problems is revealed. The leader suffers from hallucinations and delusions. He imagines a thick fog escaping from the facility's vents and being controlled by staff. The cause of these hallucinations comes from his service in World War II and his father's emasculation when he was a child. This caused him to see the world in his mind as the Combine, a dominant organization that controls society and forces it into conformity and submission. The first signs of McMurphy's effect on the patients come when he openly rebels against Nurse Ratched when she refuses to acknowledge their vote to change the television schedule to watch the World Series. At first, McMurphy stands in front of the empty television and refuses to do his scheduled job. Little by little, the other patients join him. It is at this point that McMurphy realizes that he has in fact become their leader and has achieved equal footing with Nurse Ratched. We can also say that this is the first time that the reader sees Chief Bromden assert himself as an active participant in the department by supporting Murphy's revolt against Nurse Ratched. It reminds me of a time when there were figures I despised and formed alliances with others to disrupt or challenge their authority. I predict that one day the inmates will overthrow Nurse Ratched thanks to McMurphy's leadership and cunning. He organizes a chartered fishing trip for the inmates. At first, he had difficulty convincing the necessary number of passengers to sign up. That's because Nurse Ratched follows McMurphy around and distributes literature about the dangers of boating and the serious consequences of boating.
