A clockwork Orange

deceive you, or in other words don’t judge a book buy its cover or its

thickness. A Clockwork Orange is actually 360 pages because you

have to read between the lines. You may think that the story’s theme is

that the future will be filled with horrible decadent violence (that is what

I first thought), but if you read between the lines you will understand

that this book is written for one main purpose, a purpose other than

A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962, story about the future

which was meant to be around 1995 to 2000 (a car used in the story

called a 95' Durango). A boy about seventeen, Alex the narrator and

main character living in London, rampages about with his “droogs”

(friends) raping, stealing, beating and even killing people. Alex one day

is caught for murder and jailed but two years later he is luckily freed

twelve years before his sentence ends to take advantage of a new

treatment for violent people like him that he volunteered for. He goes

through the therapy and succeeds and returns back to civilization. He

now becomes sick when he is about to commit

. . .

The book and the movie complement each other. You may ask what

was between the lines and now you get your answer: Anthony Burgess

explains how violence is not a solution to violence (violence makes

violence), and that is the theme of A Clockwork Orange. Therefore, one goal to gain more

peace is to try to lessen crime, and to do that, punishments have to be

given.

The governor means that for each action there will be a solution of even

more violence. a violent or sexual, but

also when the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven plays (a minor defect

from the treatment).

Finally, both the movie and the book are alike except that there is more

description in the book and more in-between time between all the

important events in the book. Although the

conflict does not have to do with Alex directly, he helps to illustrate it. Consequently, protecting good people is more important than not

punishing a criminal because the good people might get hurt and not the

criminal. One

thing that is important here is that the state does not care about turning

the bad into good, but on cutting down on crime and the only way to do

that is cut down on the number of criminals.

Deltoid, his teacher from school before he went to prison.

Second, after reading the book any questions you might have are solved

in the movie because the movie is much more clear and it is also made

for an audience with less intelligence, who come to see violence. For

example, when Alex was free to return to his life, his “droogs” betray

him and beat him up severely in payback for his cruel ruling as leader of

the team of friends. In the end this resolution is just another violent punishment

because it does not give people freedom and it can then lead to death. Alex was one of the lucky (because of reduced

sentence) people chosen.
