		Alex's brutal conditioning, his strange language and dress, his savage sexuality, his wickedness, cruelty, and sadism, his devious sensitivity to the ebb and flow of group power, were in fact essential to Arnold's Rugby School, and helped catapult it into international prominence as an unsurpassed institution of man-making.
		Alex's passion for "the old ultra-violence," while notched higher in damage inflicted, reflects the same celebration of the pleasures of the incoherent body that characterize Tom Brown's matches in the mud and blood of the close.
		Alex approves of the genital designs of his droogs Pete, who has a hand, and Georgie, a flower, on his groin, but finds himself in a perplexing spot for an anarchist when he finds Dim's choice of a clown's face in bad taste--evidently too close to naming "the clown he was" (_ACO_, 6).

		According to Burgess, evil is a biological characteristic, and although it may be simple to assume that criminals are evil, it is also imperative to consider that the same may be true for law enforcement, governments and institutions, insofar as these bodies are composed of biological beings.
		Alex as a 'clockwork orange' is an amoral person, as he has lost the capacity to freely choose and reason between good and evil actions.
		Alex chooses to act out against society simply because he likes to, because he is attracted to sin, and perhaps Alex idolizes himself as brave and fighting the oppression of the Government.

	Burgess, Anthony Criticism and Essays
		Alex and his "droogs," under the influence of hallucinogenic milk, engage in acts of extreme violence against innocent, randomly-selected citizens and other gangs.
		Alex's starkly violent life is counterpointed by his startlingly inventive discourse and by his love for classical music, particularly Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
		Burgess presents a society that experiments with radical behavior modification techniques on criminals to eliminate socially unwanted behavior; his argument is that it is morally and ethically preferable for the state to allow its citizens the choice between good and evil than it is for the state to destroy the capacity for choice.

		Alex is given injections and made to watch films of rape, violence, and war and the mixture of these images and the drugs cause him to associate feelings of panic and nausea with violence.
		Alex does not treat his friends as equals and is only satisfied with complete control and a dictator-like position, at one point even referring to one of his droogs as ‘Dim the soviet.’ This idea is often tested in physical confrontation.

	Scriptorium - Anthony Burgess
		Alex's language is both revolting in its degradation of certain subjects (victims, especially women, and the human body) and strangely appealing for its sing-song rhythms.
		Alex, for all of his barbarism, is a classical music aficionado, an ardent admirer of Beethoven.
		Burgess did not approve of the inclusion of a glossary in one edition, since he wanted his book on brainwashing to have an apposite, programmative effect on his reader, who would have to "learn" nadsat as he/she went along.

		Burgess seems to be saying that people are made up of contradictions and that is what makes us whole.
		Alex is obviously a disturbed teenager, but while he is in "treatment," the doctors and medical staff seem to be just as disturbed.
		If you were to compare Alex and his droogs to any gang (like those of South Central L.A.), there are almost completely similar: they have colors, they have weapons, they have their slang, they have rival gangs, and most importantly, they disreguard the law and other human beings.

		Alex’s choice of evil is total and enthusiastic; his aimlessness is electric, like a shark switching around to the nearest scent; his intelligence is sharply practical and of a high order.
		The “hip” language that Alex and his “droogs” (gangmates) speak is a further development in the lingo of the outsiders.
		Fighting a rebellious droog, Alex says, “I had just ticklewickled his fingers with my brava (knife), and there he was looking at the malenky (little) dribble of krovvy (blood) that was reddening out in the lamplight.” This device could easily have become a bore, but Mr.

	Burgess, Kubrick, and the Enlightenment Narrative of Progress, by Alfred J. Drake, Ph.D. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In Burgess' version, Alex, having been tricked by his friends into raiding the quarters of an eccentric Englishwoman, ends up bashing in her skull with a small silver statue of Beethoven.
		The remark is still less convincing for its coming after Alex's crude but perceptive “Naughty, naughty, naughty—you filthy old Soomka!” In the film, the sculpture is of a piece with the risqué décor of the Cat Lady's home, replete with almost as many erotic etchings and paintings as it is with cats.
		Alex, like a true barbarian regenerator of tired stock, has burst in upon the representative of a culture whose once-powerful sexual symbols have become bloodless conversation pieces, fragments of a forgotten reality.

	A Clockwork Orange - Filming A Clockwork Orange
		We watched the film to the end, but it was not the end of the book I had published in London in 1962: Kubrick had followed the American truncation and finished with a brilliantly realised fantasy drawn from the ultimate chapter of the one, penultimate chapter of the other...
		Alex's voice-over gloats: 'I was cured all right.' A vindication of free will had become an exaltation of the urge to sin.
		The British version of the book shows Alex growing up and putting violence by as a childish toy; Kubrick confessed that he did not know this version: an American, though settled in England, he had followed the only version that Americans were permitted to know.
