| Video Discription | One of the strangest protagonists in film history is Alex Delarge from Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange. He is a violent criminal who does unspeakably horrific things to innocent people. Yet we are meant to sympathize with him when he is victimized by the state. We’re left wondering how he has become such an iconic figure. Why is he so fascinating? In this video, I explore what makes passionately evil people so interesting as characters. We'll talk about the music of Beethoven, which plays a significant role in the film, as well as the philosophy of Friedrich Schiller, whose poem "Ode to Joy," is equally significant to Alex's personality. Finally, in a spill-over from my last video, we'll compare and contrast Alex with a character from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World—maybe it can shed some light on the nature of individuality and why mere morality (as modernity conceives of it) is so underwhelming.
