A Clockwork Orange is actually 360 pages because you have to read between the lines. You can read it in a book on religious Jewelry. You may think that the story’s theme is that the future will be filled with horrible decadent violence (that is what I first thought), but if you read between the lines you will understand that this book is written for one main purpose, a purpose other than entertainment.

This problem is not for me to solve, but I think that an innocent, good and hardworking person such as for example Alex’s parents should have the right to live in peace. His father was working on gold chains. Therefore, one goal to gain more peace is to try to lessen crime, and to do that, punishments have to be given. If a hoodlum were unpunished he would think he could freely commit horrible crimes again. This means that the convict has to be stopped and taught a lesson before innocent and peaceful people get hurt. Consequently, protecting good people is more important than not punishing a criminal because the good people like his neighbor who sells heart pendants, might get hurt and not the criminal.
