A Clockwork Orange analysis

What happens is completely different and not true to what our title means, so we may say this is one among many true things and sceneries the author seeks to unleash. There are many issues addressed by the author in the book. There are truth and self-deception, a necessity of evil in human nature, interdependence of life and order in society versus freedom of choice among other issues. Let us focus on the issue of truth and deception as one of the major issues addressed by the author. The novel itself is set in futuristic or let’s say advanced England streets where many crimes and evil acts happen at night. The cops also assault him, Mr. Deltoid spits on his face and even beats him up ruthlessly. Meanwhile, this is the truth the society should be made aware of it should also be condemned.

Human rights are being violated, and no one seems to care. Truth and self-deception issue also revolves around the government of the day. It is shown by how they directly and brutally deal with Alex. Society wants everyone to be pleasant and peaceful. So the government to appease the citizens, they make a person appear to be right when in the real sense the person is terrible nature. The society is forced to believe that the criminals have changed their behaviors as in the case of Alex. The author argues that "Goodness comes from within. He now seems to hate violence something which he loved and enjoyed before. We also see that it’s not only the government which is corrupt but also the ordinary citizens are every person in this book is violent, from the government to the cops to the old men who spend their days in the library.

It is another hidden truth which the writer helps the reader unveil. We can go ahead and say that Alex and his former members of the self -proclaimed gang group “droogs” are way much better than any other member of their immediate society. It is because they grow together, get tired of violence and they decide to proceed and settle down to start their families. The writer states that, "… starting to deal me malenky weak [hits in the stomach]…" (144). Here we find that the hunter is becoming the hunted and the man is taking the matter into his own hands to handle his revenge. Alex is rescued by two cops which learn that there is his former rival; Dim and Billyboy. They take him outside the country, torture him and then leave him there.

He collapses at a door of someone he and his gang had abused. He canceled the plans and locked him upstairs with loud music for him to commit suicide as he knew he would not survive it. Alex could not stand it and ran away through the window and got injured as his bones broke. He woke up in the hospital bed and the man came to apologize to him and offered to give him a job under a condition which is if he agrees to be on the government’s side. It shows how the man who pretended to help him ends up hurting him and is using him for his own needs. According to the final chapter of the novel, we find out that truth and self-deception arise when the doctors in the hospital reverse Alex condition, and he can now think of violence and orgasmic as he was on the older days.

The citizens, police and the government do not learn how to grow and become productive in the society. They are just busy revenging and doing things that do not benefit anyone else other them. This truth and self-deception are well indicated in this novel by the writer. At the end of this novel, there is a change in Alex and hope is seen in him and he is now a right person. He abandons his earlier ways and starts out a new life with a future. A Clockwork Orange. New York, NY: W W Norton & Company. De Vitis, A. A.   Anthony .
