A Clockwork Orange and the Mechanic Welfare State

Abstract

The present essay is analyzing not only the relation between A Clockwork Orange and the British Society of the 1960s, but also the lost of identity which suffers when it was adapted for the film. Because of that, on the one hand, I’m going to refer to its absolute change of meaning due to its post processing from an incomplete copy and its further transformation in the well-known homonymous film carried out by the American film director Stanley Kubrick in 1971 and, on the other hand, I’m going to allude to the relation between Anthony Burgess’ novel, written and published in the uk in 1962, the time in which it was written and the author’s own biography.
