Our Humble Narrator leaves the Korova with his new droogs, he has a job at the National Gramodisc Archive. He is tired, and stands by watching as Bully beats up an old man. The gang heads over to the Duke of New York, same old ladies, same routine. Alex has a baby picture in his wallet. He is bitter for having to buy someone else alcohol with ( Read more... )

Well, the quitter didn't die. (I jest, Alex understandably attempted suicide, but it just always makes me disdainful when a character tries to kill themselves.) He wakes up in a hospital, he can't talk, and he is visited by the prison Charlie, then the Friends of Liberty (F. Alexander's bunch). He dreams about being purified and once again ( Read more... )

After a good rest, Alex awakens and searches out the name of his host, F. Alexander. He has breakfast with the man and hears about the plan to use him against the government, which apparently is heading towards totalitarianism. An article has been written about Alex's Odyssey, to which Alex signs his name. We meet F. Alexander's friends, who are ( Read more... )

Alex stumbles to the cottage of the writer of Clockwork Orange. He is muddy, wet and bloody. The writer lets him in, and Alex sits by the fire. Alex realizes that he knows this man, though the man does not recognize Alex. The police apparently do what they did to Alex routinely, and the writer's wife died. Alex tells the writer about the ( Read more... )

The police beat away the old men, and are revealed to be Dim and Billyboy. They carry Alex to the squad car, and take him to the countryside, where they remove their uniforms and beat the crap out of him, then leave him to die ( Read more... )

Our dear humble narrator walks from his parents' house to MELODIA to listen to some music. Here, the old owner has left and has been replaced by a less respectable youngling. The shop is full of teens dancing to crappy pop music. Alex asks the clerk to play some Mozart for him. The dolt plays the wrong piece, but Alex feels sick. He runs across ( Read more... )

After being rushed out of the facility, our humble narrator itties off to a little bar for a little peet. He then heads back to his pee and em, meets Joe (a boarder who lives in his old room), cries, and is yelled at (by Joe, who clearly has no clue what happened to Alex). He wanders back into the real world, never to talk to his parents again ( Read more... )

Our humble narrator is displayed like a prize pig ready to become a prize ham. It is demonstrated that they have made Alex into "a true Christian," (129) one who will turn the other cheek, one who will be chivalrous. Yet we see this through his eyes, we know they have not turned him into such a thing, but rather simply forced him to become it. ( Read more... )

Alex again view his war footage, as well as a bit which he had not thought as bad before, robbing a store and hurting the owner. As he is watching, he realizes that they are playing Beethoven's Ninth in the background. He tells them this is a sin, and talks with Dr Brodsky about it. Brodsky admits to no knowledge of music, and Alex discovers ( Read more... )

Our Humble Narrator is brought back to his room and begins to feel better. His treatment is partially explained to him, and he meets with the Discharge Officer, discussing what will happen after the treatment. He decides not to think about it for a while. The Discharge Officer foreshadows things to come: he takes advantage of Alex's new ( Read more... )
