Clockwork Orange isn't as much about dehumanisation as it is youth and expression -- the reasoning behind the Ninth is that Alex is an athletic, intelligent, artistic young man, and he truly appreciates the Ninth in all its glory. Alex's violent acts are so violent, and he is so good at what he does because like Mozart, Alex is a prodigy: violence is simply his way of expressing himself. One of the reasons he breaks away from the Droogs is that he operates on a different level to Dim and the others, simply loving and beating for the fun of it. Burgess argues that violence is simply a natural part of life for many young people in society, and how the disastrous effects of a society that represses individuals and those who think against the status quo. Film is awesome, 4/5
