A Clockwork Orange: The Intersection Between A Dystopia And Human Nature, Samantha Moya Jan 2011

A Clockwork Orange: The Intersection Between A Dystopia And Human Nature, Samantha Moya

Best Student Essays

An archetypal depiction of a dystopia is one dominated by bleakness and roboticism, a totalitarian government enforcing upon the people a lifestyle that lulls them into a state of obedience. Anthony Burgess’ 1963 novel, A Clockwork Orange, is a nightmarish vision of future Britain, one in which behavioral modification is taken to dangerous extremes in the quest for preserving the order of a disconnected society.
