As time progresses in the novel “A Clockwork orange” written by Anthony Burgess, the theme is slowly unveiled. In the second part of the 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

audience as being cultivated, decorous and unblemished. Nevertheless the audience soon fathoms that this appearance is little more than a façade that conceals much of who Blanche actually is; similarly to her rather animalistic, brutish brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, she is an incredibly sexual being who

1. Stanley Milgrim created the Milgrim experiment in 1963. The purpose of the infamous experiment was to study the conflict between obedience to authority and personal consciences.

Stanley Kowalski is a petulant child with a red-hot temper, unable to control himself. He is primal, even feral, and in the end- just that- a child at the breast of his mother: “It is not by chance that, as Stanley goes to placate his wife on the stairs at the end of the play, the child, whom Eunice has placed in Stella's arms, stands between them.
