A Clockwork Orange and the Importance of Free Choice.

We see throughout the novel the arguement of whether or not man should have free choice. Do we allow monstrous men continue to do as they please unabated, or force them to conform with the rest of humanity?

We see the two sides of this confrontation from the religious men and the government within the novel. The government says that to keep and continue order within the society they must force civillians who act like a monsters to be forced normal (represented in the Ludovico technique) so that society can continue.

The religious men believe that choice should be allowed no matter what, as without choice humans become little less then animals.

In the end we find that free choice is ultimately the best answer, but in this case comes far too late.
