Šio bakalaurinio darbo tikslas - išanalizuoti malonumą ir skausmą Anthony Burgess’o romane “Prisukamas apelsinas”. Atonement is the very last chapter of the novel, which holds significant meaning on its own, and it is a part where Alex decides to finally change the way he wants to live. Redemption is the continuation of pain he had to suffer through after coming out of prison. Suffering is about the cruel and twisted ways he had to experience pain and how he was brainwashed. Expediency is about the life that Alex experienced while he was constantly granting himself pleasure and nothing else. The novel itself is divided into three parts, which I chose to divide and name them into 4 parts: Expediency, Suffering, Retribution, and Atonement. The thesis itself is divided into two major parts - the first part, introduction, and theory behind pleasure and pain and the second part is the analysis of picked segments from the novel where pleasure or pain are expressed.
Alex does all these things just because he experiences pleasure while doing it and what later follows is his surreal venture down to hell. The protagonist of the novel, Alex, is a 15-year-old psychopath who commits various heinous crimes like rape, breaking and entering, car theft, vandalism, and eventually, murder. The analysis is based on the theoretical framework of hedonism and mainly focuses on the works of Epicurus and Epicureanism.

Yes it was sickening, but I tend to favor books that get that kind of reaction from me IF there is some kind of point being made, as opposed to just for shock value. I really liked this book, and thought it was one of the best written books I have ever read. So in you may find yourself rooting for the main character, not because he is a great guy (he's not), but because you may not agree with what he is put through.
I love the head scratcher books where there is a very very very gray area. However, in the middle and latter parts of the book, there are things done to him by society in the name of "good" that are highly questionable, and as much as I hated him I found myself asking "Was that really justifiable?" And there isn't really a clear answer to that question, which is what makes the book so interesting. I can't really say what he does that is so horrendous without giving away spoilers (unless you really want to know) but let's just say you do NOT want to meet him in a dark alley or be alone in a car with him. I can't really say what he does that is so horrendous without giving away spoilers (unl …more The protagonist does things that are absolutely cringe-worthy.
