 | | The books protagonist is Alex DeLarge, a viscious, fifteen-year-old droog, as the back cover says, whose principal interests are rape, murder, and ultraviolence. |
 | | Alex starts the book the leader of a gang of merciless juvenile delinquents, but he is distinguished from the rest in that he is the only one who consciously knows what he is doing throughout his villainous activities, and he has enlightened sensibilities, such as his love of classical music. |
