Abstract
For this extended essay I will be examining A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess with my research question as: “In the novel A Clockwork Orange how are people differentiated from the society and classified as an outsider?”. I will firstly provide a brief historical background of the book along with a short summary of the major events that take place and the main character. Then, I will be taking a further look at the possible effects/impacts of the interaction between Alex and his environment on the development of his character and differentiation from the society. In this part, I will explore the Individual versus State theme present in the novel and further examine it from Alex’s point of view. Through doing this, I will also closely look at the language “nadsat” provided in the text and how this reflects Alex’s inner thoughts and affects the reader’s point of view about Alex. Later on, I will be tackling on the importance of the title of the book and mainly the reflection of the character as a production of the title. I will be defining what is a “clockwork orange” and why the author has particularly chosen this title in accordance with Alex’s differentiation from the society throughout his life. While I make this analysis, I will also be using the information I found from my personal research of Anthony Burgess as a writer. I will be making certain links to the fears he had for the problems in his society and how these experiences were integrated into the world he created and through Alex. Lastly, I will have the conclusion part of my Extended Essay where I will be examining the term of being an outsider in general and tackle the message Anthony Burgess is trying to convey.
