Alex DeLarge

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

- Alex DeLarge. Alex DeLarge is the protagonist and narrator of the book and film; A Clockwork Orange. A violent sociopath and teenage delinquent, Alex and his gang of "Droogs" partake in acts of "Ultra violence" on a nightly basis; robbing, assaulting and even raping innocent members of the public for their own sick amusement. While robbing the house of an wealthy woman he is knocked out by one of his fellow gang members and left to be found by the police and is convicted of murder (as he unknowingly beat the woman to death when assaulting her). After several years in jail he is recommended for a revolutionary new treatment designed to eliminate criminal impulses by conditioning the participant to feel nauseating sickness at the mere thought of violence.

The treatment appears to be a success and Alex has his prison time commuted to time served and is released but he soon finds himself unable to adapt to society and is brutalised by his former victims and gang members, his treatment preventing him from defending himself. After he attempts suicide after being drugged and subjected to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony by a former victim (The piece played to Alex during his treatment) he is given a high paying job by the government as compensation for the failure of his treatment. Little do they realise that the treatment has worn off and he is now back to his old sociopathic self, ready to commit even more crimes.
