"A Clockwork Orange," written by Anthony Burgess, presents a dystopian future where violence and psychological manipulation are rampant. The story follows Alex, a delinquent who enjoys committing acts of "ultraviolence." The narrative explores themes of free will, the nature of evil, and the effects of societal control through the lens of Alex's experiences within a brutal system that seeks to reform him through extreme measures.

The quote, "This must be a real horrorshow film if you're so keen on my viddying it," reflects Alex’s dark sense of humor and his fascination with violent media, highlighting his warped perception of reality. It underscores the novel's critique of a society that desensitizes individuals to brutality, illustrating how entertainment and violence intertwine, ultimately presenting a chilling commentary on morality and choice.

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.
