Re:Psychological issues in A Clockwork Orange

Great topic. But you must be kidding about not being able to find information on the topic, ACO and Anthony Burgess are very popular subjects for school themes ! Your local library (they have those in Sweden ?) may have a reference series called "Twentieth Century Literary Criticisms." That's got enough ideas to kick off dozens of themes on ACO.

Behaviorism is just the most obvious focus point, there are many. Alex goes through a number of interesting transitions that reflect aspects of deep psychological and philosophical questions about freedom and human nature.

Even if you just use the web, there are a load of essays. This topic is so popular that some sites have yanked their biblography because of student plagiarism. You would never do that, right ?!

For example, there's a collection of critical essays (with the refs yanked to protect students from themselves) at:

kind regards, and happy hunting !!
