In the midst of a rigorous conversation between Dale Harding and Randle McMurphy, Harding concedes the strength of humanity and the strength of the world to the strongest. He alludes to the Darwinist principle of Natural Law, which proclaims that those who are the most robust will dominate while feeble dwellers, like himself, will remain slaves until death. To further reinforce his beliefs, Harding speculates of an animalistic analogy; the patients in the mental hospital are rabbits while the strongest individuals are the wolves - in this case, Nurse Ratched is a wolf. As patients, they must embrace the reality that the wolves will obliterate their already vulnerable wellbeing, and, thus, the rabbits must commit to any secretive act in order to hide from danger. Undoubtedly, McMurphy demonstrates skepticism towards such concepts; additionally, he proposes that every patient should exhibit resilience against animosity (although McMurphy would grasp that resistance equates to punishment).
