Unlock the more straightforward side of A Clockwork Orange with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, which follows the teenaged Alex as he and his “droogs” rampage through their city committing acts of extreme violence, which they enjoy and for which they feel no remorse. When Alex is captured and convicted of murder following a brutal attack on an elderly woman, he is given the option to undergo a new experimental psychological technique which will aim to instil a deep aversion to violence in him. Through Alex’s story, A Clockwork Orange explores themes including free will and the duality of good and evil. As well as its vivid descriptions of violence, the novella is notable for its used of Nadsat, a Russian-influenced argot invented by Burgess (who was also a linguist).
