Clockwork Orange Symbolism

Orin 6
“Clockwork Orange” represents the ignorance of women. In every point of the movie the females are raped and used as a thing. Alex was symbol of the typical minded man who thinks they have the power to do anything they want. Every year thousands of women are being vsictim of rape and many others are left injured or suffering from physical sexual substance abuse and mental health problems. Rape is one of the most predominant forms of violence being used in Darfur towards women. It does not only affect female individuals, but also has devastating effects on societies and communities, as females are suddenly shunned and the community loses its reputation. In Alex story, he raped the girl in bar, he went to the writers house and in front of the husband he raped the lady which was
miserable to watch.
Alex to the advantage of someone else innocence and he did not care. The only thing was matter to him in pleasuring himself. But the end of his evil deed was coming soon when his friends took revenge on him while raping and killing the lady. From that point, his life turned in a different way. The free will Alex was different and had no choice of his own. Prison chaplain: “Choice. The boy has no real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.” The prison chaplain speaks these lines after he watches state officials test in order to prove that he has truly been cured of his violent impulses. Alex stands on a stage in front of a room filled with doctors and political figures. To test Alex, a man comes out from behind the curtains and insults him, slaps him, and makes him lick the bottom of his shoe. Alex complies because after the conditioning he has undergone, fighting back would make him too horribly ill. This is the “grotesque act of self-abasement” that the prison chaplain refers to. Then a

Orin 7 woman comes out and tries to seduce Alex, but he turns away in illness at the thought of sex. While these displays impress most of the audience members, the prison chaplain voices dissent using traditional religious rhetoric. He holds up religious values of good and evil and the importance of moral choice in opposition to the value of ultimate state control. His statement echoes the traditional belief that what makes people different from animals is their ability to make moral choices. Evolutionary science maintains that self-interest and the fear of physical pain drive animals to act, and that this instinct allows them to survive. Religion, however, maintains that people exist on a higher plane than animals and are not driven by their instincts alone, but rather have a divine element in their natures that enables them make moral choices.
