The two main characters of both films start a two different ends. Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange is a young criminal out of many plaguing his society. Where as Travis Bickel in Taxi Driver is recently discharged out of the military and is looking for a connection with good people and a way out of the plagued society

novel, Alex decides to break into an elderly lady’s’ house with intentions of raping her and stealing her most valuable possession’s. This here allows the reader to infer that the theme of the story consists of the fact that uncontrolled individual power can become overwhelming and can get out of hand very quickly. This specific event soon turns in the opposite direction concluding in Alex being recklessly abused in the police station by the police officers. A plot twist soon occurs with Alex getting

does Stanley Kubrick create reference to the duality of ‘the fool’? A Clockwork Orange (1971) is one of Stanley Kubrick more notable endeavours, based on Anthony Burgess’ novel. Both film and book depict the simultaneous humanity and inhumanity of Alex and his ‘droogs’. This duality is key to my interpretation of these characters as representative of ‘the fool’. Here, ‘the fool’ is derivative of the Commedia Dell’arte Harlequin character, ‘[a] chameleon which takes on every colour’, and its reincarnation

Introduction A Clockwork Orange and 1984 are books with Non-traditional language use to affect the reader in some way.

In the first section you are following the protagonist Alex and his "gang", who all lack a complete sense of morality, through a first person narrative.

The protagonist and narrator, Alex, is a violent young boy who would go into the night with his friends to commit heinous crimes to anyone they come across. And when he is not disrupting the peace, he enjoys listening to classical music, his favorite being Beethoven's 9th Symphony. //Together, those are what brings

words that Alex and his friends used was very difficult to understand at first but then I slowly started to catch on and it made it easier to understand. In the beginning of the book we are introduced to a group of troublesome friends. As the book continued, the boys beat up a man and forced him to watch his wife get raped. Because of the wife’s death, change was brought upon some of the characters. Something interesting about this is the boys who seemed to be best friends turned on Alex making him

Notes From the Midnight Driver Review The headless gnome was no one’s fault but Alex Gregory, it was his parent’s. Either way, if his father hadn't run off with his third-grade teacher, then his mother wouldn't be on a date and Alex wouldn't need to get drunk by himself, steal his mother's car and crash it.
