The first and last chapters place Alex in more or less the same physical situation but his ability to exercise free will leads him to diametrically opposite choicesgood versus evil.

feel a sense of bitterness and rage towards Alexs’ character and the lack of empathy is continued on throughout the film, even when his violent fits are put to a stop. Although you would not assume that the government would play a major role in a movie such as A Clockwork Orange, the officials of the London dystopia prove themselves as pure evil and some of their actions even leave you feeling a bit of sympathy for the young boy, Alex.

does our first view of Tessie help to establish her character? To what extent is her final protest justified? How do the other characters portray themselves by their attitudes toward the ritual?

May I beg that you will write at once to the mother of this unfortunate woman--to Mrs. Catherick--to ask for her testimony in support of the explanation which I have just offered to you?"
