The main character, Alex, is an "ultra-violent" thief who has no problem using force against innocent citizens to get what he wants.

Burgess’s use of Alex as a first person central narrator, and how this creates sympathy for the character despite his horrible actions. He also comments on the fact that the readers feel more emotionally connected to Alex since he directly addresses them throughout the novel. Alex is defined as an “antihero” due to the fact that he is an outsider in a society he doesn’t understand.

They spend their nights drinking drug laced milk, getting into gang wars, and committing some good old rape and ultra-violence. Tension arises between the group which leads to Alex getting arrested. While imprisoned, he is introduced to a new rehabilitation technique sponsored by the government that promises to cure him of his violent nature.
