In A Clockwork Orange, the main character is that of a mildly young
child of 15 who, along with his fellow friends, or "Droogs", partake in
evenings of Ultra-Violence. Ultra Violence consists of random beatings,
theft, destruction, and rape. The main character, Alex, is the
self-proclaimed leader of the pack, and makes judgment on their actions
pending on his mood. His Droogs eventually find themselves under his
direct rule, following his every word, and decide to challenge his
authority. The three Droogs (Dim, Georgie, and Pete) join Alex on his
romp to a local "fat farm" to pillage the goods therein. Inside, Alex
stumbles upon the owner of the resort, and after a length scuffle with
her, ends up giving her a blow to the head with a rather large, ceramic
replica of an erect penis. When he leaves the outer gates of the complex,
Dim surprises him by smacking a milk bottle against his face.
His
counterparts escape while little Alex is left bleeding and blinded to deal
with the police. Upon interrogation of Alex, he discovers that the blow
he delivered to the young lady was a fatal one. He is charged with
first-degree murder and sentenced to 14 years in prison. While there, he
befriends the resident minister and becomes a helper to his service. The
minister, Alex soon discovers, is a part in a new form of treatment that
is trying to be implemented prisons to help "cure" inmates from committing
acts of violence. Through luck and discussion with the higher officials in
the prison, Alex is chose to be a guinea pig for the experiment, and is
sent to become "inoculated from violence". The treatment consisted of
Alex being strapped down to a chair in front of a cinema screen, having
electrodes attached...
