The Lead Character



Alex DeLarge is the main character in the movie A Clockwork Orange and is also the protagonist of the story (GradeSaver). Alex is also widely known as the gang leader to his friends Georgie, Dim and Pete. Alex’s top favorite things are classical music and violence (GradeSaver). His character is very dominant and very demanding of his friends. Together, all of the friends commit several violent acts from a range of murder to rape. Alex believes that the natural way to live is by being evil and in his eyes to be evil is to be human (Shmoop Editorial Team). After the murder that Alex commits he is sent away to prison where his free will that he once had is taken away. At this time Alex’s goodness in the world is practically made and forced upon him and he takes the next step from immature child to a mature adult (Shmoop Editorial Team).
