affiliations

In A Clockwork Orange, Alex DeLarge has different affiliations throughout the story, reflecting his evolution and the changes in his environment: 1.

The group consists of Dim, Georgie and Pete, who follow him into acts of ultraviolence, robbery and assault. However, Alex's relationship with his drugos is marked by his desire for dominance and internal tensions. Dim and Georgie, resentful of his leadership, betray him and cause his arrest. 2. Prison system: After being betrayed, Alex is imprisoned and becomes a prisoner of the state. During his time in prison, Alex displays a false rehabilitation, manipulating officials to gain benefits. Eventually, he becomes a test subject for the Ludovico Treatment, a government initiative that seeks to "eliminate evil" in individuals. 3. The Government: After the Ludovico Treatment, Alex is used by the government as a political tool. The State turns it into a symbol of propaganda success to demonstrate the effectiveness of its control methods. However, when the treatment fails and Alex is left damaged, the government seeks to repair its image by offering him benefits and apparent freedom. 4. Family: Although they are not an "affiliation" in the traditional sense, Alex's relationship with his family is distant and superficial.

tastes

1. Classical Music His greatest passion is classical music, especially Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is his favorite piece and plays a symbolic role in the story, representing the sublime beauty and ecstasy that he associates with violence. Classical music not only pleases him, but it takes him to almost euphoric and even religious states, giving him an air of intellectual refinement. Alex describes music as a pure sensory experience: > “Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousness made flesh.” 2. "Ultraviolence" Alex enjoys committing acts of extreme violence (which he calls "ultraviolence"), such as beating, robbing, and assaulting innocent people. For him, these acts are not only a release of his youthful energy, but also a way to exert power and control over others. He does it with a kind of theatricality and pleasure, as if they were artistic acts in themselves. 3. Language and expression Alex has a particular fondness for Nadsat, a made-up slang that mixes Russian words with English. He uses this language as a tool to distance himself from society and as part of his unique style. His manner of speaking is eloquent and poetic, although he often describes horrendous acts, creating a strong contrast. 4. Aesthetics and personal style Alex values ​​his appearance and has a taste for the elegant and theatrical. His white wardrobe, bowler hat and false eyelashes are symbols of his taste for extravagance and individuality. Even his refined-handled walking stick reflects a search for beauty in the macabre. 5. Company and leadership He likes to be surrounded by followers who acknowledge his superiority. His leadership among the drugos not only satisfies his need for control, but also his ego. However, he despises those he considers inferior or incompetent, such as Dim. 6. Milk-plus (Moloko Plus) Alex and his drugos frequent the Korova Milkbar, where they drink "moloko plus", a milk adulterated with psychoactive substances.
