Paper Summary:

This paper examines the importance of the following two themes in understanding this powerful and admonitory work about modern society. What happens when people are pushed to their psychological and physical limits and the difficulty but necessity of trying to distinguish appearance from reality.

From the Paper:

"As we begin the book, observing British society from the outside initially, we are led by Burgess to believe that the British government in this future age has discovered a plausible and effective strategy for reforming those who have committed crimes. Alexander De Large, the protagonist, has been set up by his Droogs roughly his fellow gang members (Dim, Pete and Georgie) and has been convicted of murder and sent to jail. At the Staja (the State Penitentiary), he has been transformed during the two years of his stay from "Alex" to "66553221"."
