A Clockwork Orange, novel by Anthony Burgess, issued in 1962.
Set in a gloomy dystopian England, it is the first-person account
of a youth debtor who undergoes state-sponsored psychological
improvement for his different behaviour. The novel critizes extreme
political systems that are based on opposing models of the
perfectibility of humanity. Written in a futuristic patois
vocabulary invented by Burgess, in part by adaptation of Russian
words, it was his most original and best-known work.
Alex is the A Clockwork Orange book's protagonist and first-person
narrator. Fifteen when the book begins, Alex is a smart,
fascinating, problematic narrator who argues readers to see the
world through the eyes of a teen who not only acts violently but
enjoys each act of violence incredibly. Alex is also the voice
through which author Anthony Burgess explains issues of freedom of
choice, the authority of the state, and the boundaries between
them. Relaying on which form of the novel readers choose, Alex is
either a differently static protagonist or a protagonist who
changes greatly as he matures.
So we can say that the narrator
refute the visual action of the protagonist.
