characters
Alex
character is portrayed as a psychopath
who robs, rapes, and assaults innocent
people for his own amusement.
Intellectually, he knows that such
behaviour is morally wrong, saying that
"you can't have a society with everybody
behaving in my manner of the night".
Dim
A physically imposing, mentally
deficient droog in Alex’s first gang.
After Alex hits Dim for behaving
boorishly, he and the rest of the
droogs betray Alex. Years later, Dim
becomes a policeman and, with his
colleague
Billyboy,
unjustly
apprehends and then rapes Alex.
Pete
The most even-tempered and
conciliatory member of Alex’s
group of droogs. At the end of
the book, Alex comes across
Pete and his new wife in a
coffeehouse. Pete’s new, tame
lifestyle seems to inspire Alex
to settle down and live a more
respectable life

Frank Alexander
The most even-tempered and
conciliatory member of Alex’s group
of droogs. At the end of the book,
Alex comes across Pete and his new

tame lifestyle seems to inspire Alex
to settle down and live a more

P.R. Deltoid
Alex’s
world-weary
Post-Corrective
Adviser, assigned to keep tabs on the
boy’s behavior. Deltoid seems genuinely, if
a bit warily, concerned for Alex. But he is
so disgusted after Alex gets arrested for
rape and murder that he visits Alex in
custody and spits in his face.
the prison chaplain
Also called "The Charles," he is
a cleric who takes a liking
to Alex while the latter is in
prison. The chaplain is deeply
disturbed by Reclamation
Therapy, as he believes that
goodness should be a choice,
not a compulsion.

violence
Just because the police have not picked you up lately
doesn’t, as you very well know, mean you’ve not been up
to some nastiness.
And, my brothers, it was real satisfaction to me to waltz–
left two three, right two three–and carve left cheeky and
right cheeky, so that like two curtains of blood seemed to
pour out at the same time, one on either side of his fat
filthy oily snout in the winter starlight. Down this blood
poured in like red curtains.
What does God want? Does God want goodness or the
choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad
perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good
imposed upon him?
