Well, they hang me if it is not that fat smelly, the bastard Billy and all the crap. How are you, cheap kitchen bottle? Approach, that I will give you one in the yarblocos, if you have them, the greasy eunuch.

In the novel "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, the protagonist expresses disdain for someone named Billy, referring to him in derogatory terms. The protagonist uses vivid and crude language to convey feelings of anger and contempt, suggesting a hostile relationship. This interaction reflects the overall themes of the book, which deals with rebellion, violence, and the challenges of free will in a dystopian society.

The protagonist's language is emblematic of a deeper connection to the chaotic environment in which he lives. By using phrases like "cheap kitchen bottle" and "greasy eunuch," he illustrates the vulgarity and harshness of his world. Such expressions reveal his inner turmoil and a desire to confront those he perceives as weak or corrupt. This moment encapsulates the essence of Burgess's work, where the characters often grapple with their identity and the moral implications of their actions.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
