Class: Acute

Voluntary or Committed: Voluntary



Billy Bibbit was your run-of-the-mill 30 year-old-virgin mama's boy. His mother basically ran his life for him, and he was certainly not going to go against that. His mother had a close relationship to Nurse Ratched as well, so whatever Nurse Ratched told Billy, he would have to listen or face the wrath of his mother. 



The story of Bibbit's checking in to the asylum is quite a sad one. Bibbit was formerly engaged to someone, but his mother did not approve of her, and that was the end of that. Bibbit was devastated at this and attempted suicide, only to not succeed and land a spot in the mental institution. 



Bibbit acted adolescent at first, always giggling to himself and writing down his observations of the different patients in the asylum in Nurse Ratched's notebook. But after he met McMurphy, his world widened and his outlook on life got much more positive. He idolized McMurphy as some sort of hero. 



McMurphy plotted for Bibbit to lose his virginity to Candy Starr, to which Bibbit eagerly agreed to and relished in. However, after Bibbit lost his virginity, Nurse Ratched found out and threatened to tell his mother. Panicked out of his mind, Bibbit committed suicide and slit his throat. In a way, it kind of showed how much he grew, in his courage to do something so drastic anyways. Everything went downhill in the asylum from there.
