A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

Alex is the leader of a small gang. A gang, G-A-N-G, is a group of

people, usually young men who are selling drugs or stealing things and so
forth.
Alex loves this violence; he also loves classical music, especially music
by the great German composer, Beethoven.
One night, in the story, the gang enters illegally into a large home, a
mansion, M-A-N-S-I-O-N, a very large and expensive house.
They beat the owners of the house and try to steal things, but then,
something goes wrong, Alex is betrayed by the other members of his gang.
The gang members attack Alex, they hurt him, and they leave him there.
Well, of course, the police eventually come to this house and they arrest
Alex, they put him in jail, they put him in prison.
Alex, while he’s there, participates in a government experiment.
I don’t wanna tell you what happens at the end of the movie, because
there’s a very surprising end that I don’t want to tell you.

The title of this movie is a little strange, I think it combines a couple

of different ideas.
Orange is of course a piece of fruit, that is sweet, that is of the color
orange, it’s good to eat, it comes from a living plant.
Clockwork describes the inside of a clock or a watch, the mechanical
parts of a clock or a watch.
One idea about the title of this novel and movie is that Alex is like an
orange on the outside, he’s natural, he looks normal, but on the inside
he’s not really a human being, he’s like a clock, he’s controlled like a
clock.
