Essay Topics for A Clockwork Orange!?

Question

I'm doing an essay on A Clockwork Orange but i can't think of an essay question to use. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Does the government have the right to do absolutely anything to ensure a crime-free society?

In taking away Alex's freedom to choose right & wrong, did they also take away some of his humanity?

How does the use of Nadsat contribute to the book?

How does this book contribute to the discussion on teen aggression & violence today?

Answer 2

The main question is probably something like: Why did the government put Alex's head back to the way it was?

Answer 3

I saw the film years ago. The  only thing that sticks out to me was when the man was tied up and his eyes pinned open to look at the sexual activities. Something like that.

Answer 4

You could do something related to Burgess's use of language (Nadsat) - like 1984, an essential component of the book.
