“There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and
we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the
evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or
drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you
ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.”
- Alex
9. Historical and Social Context
-England in the near future, forms of futuristic art work in a mood of rejection of moral principals and
religion- sculpted, sleek, hygienic white glass nude furniture and statues are used.

and totalitarian society in England’s 60’s.
-Their names are symbolic: Alex represents the heroic and majestic leader, Alexander the Great, but in
this case "A-lex" - a man without law or 'a law unto himself.' A-lex literally means 'without law.'.
-The droogs have Russian names and Dim is probably a shortened version of Dimitri.
-The film makes a reference to Christ. (Alex brutally fantasizes about being a Roman guard at the
Crucifixion while he feigns Bible study in the prison library).
-Everything that happens in the movie is seen though Alex’s eyes, this may have some effect in
distancing the violence and it’s context.
-In the film, the State is worse than the criminals and the scientists are worse than the State.
-The prison is the most acceptable place in the whole movie. Music is used as a cultural reference. The
use of modern and pop art (milk bar, cat lady house...)
