A Clockwork Orange - Part 3, Chapter 1 Analysis
Alex had such high hopes for his release, but his idea of a glorious homecoming rather to point out is egocentrism. Alex does not believe that there may be some fear or misunderstanding of his prior behavior and the technology he has made. He still believes that he is the only one who has suffered. Joe is the first sound of a parent who has met with Alex and Alex suffers from his helplessness situation.
We also see changes in the world around him. Things are cleaner. There is less graffiti and less violence. While the elevator is working. The paper notes that there is less criminals and the police, and we are beginning to see the sterilization of society. Well similar to the control communism tried to take the height of its power.
