McMuprhy is a DYNAMIC character who begins the play as selfish and outspoken.  By the end of the play there are many instances of his compassion and altruism towards the other individuals in the hospital.  This change is so dramatic in fact, that by the final act of the play Randle P. McMuprhy goes down as a MARTYR, someone who dies for their cause, to the patients of Mental Hospital.
