A Clockwork Orange (Term Paper)
A Clockwork Orange is a controversial work in which the setting is in a futuristic society in which, political powers have subsided and lawlessness, violence, and youth gangs terrorize the people. Free will is the cost that Alex De Large has to pay in a society that is so dominated by violence. Anthony Burgess, in his novel A Clockwork Orange, contends that unless man freely chooses to reject the attraction of violence, rehabilitation and conditioning only works if man’s free will is destroyed.At one point or another a person has experienced the appeal of violence. Violence has its ways to make people want more, similar to an adrenalin rush. Alex, who is the narrator, tells the story through the first person point of view. Alex and his Droogs (followers) experience violence on a nightly basis. On one particular night Alex and his Droogs were walking along when they saw a drunken old man who asked them for a quarter. “One thing I could never stand is to see a filthy old drunky howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going Blerp Blerp in between, as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts.” At this point they started to beat the old man fiercely with no regret for th . . .

This was the turning point of the book in which we see Alex wanted to try and rehabilitate. If I was to be a free young malchick again in a fortnights time I would put up with much in the meantime. With Alex’s entry into prison he was forced to spend his time doing something that would help him rehabilitate. With out realizing it he returned to the house in which he rapped the women in front of her husband. It's wrong because everybody has the right to live and be happy without being tolchoked and knifed. He was forced to watch movie clip after movie clip of people dieing being tortured and even women being rapped. It's a stinking world because it lets the young get on to the old like you've done. One Day while Alex was talking the Chaplain, he asked if there was any other way that he can rehabilitate because he wished to leave the prison and become part of society once again. After trying to flee through the front door, His Droogs surprised him and smacked him in the face with a bottle of milk rendering him helpless. With no free will Alex managed to rehabilitate but the rehabilitation had to many flaws.
