ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess tells the story of Alex, a young man who engages in acts of ultra-violence with his "droogs." The story is set in a dystopian society where the government tries to control crime through extreme methods. Alex is eventually imprisoned and subjected to the Ludovico Technique, an experiment designed to condition him to abhor violence. 
  
The book explores themes of free will, morality, and the nature of good and evil. It follows Alex's journey as he is transformed into something other than human, highlighting the dangers of trying to impose goodness by removing the capacity for choice. After his "rehabilitation," Alex's return to society illustrates that his fundamental nature remains, raising questions about the effectiveness of such methods.
