Man was ready for living his life

During this period of his life Alex is what Burgess describes as a Clockwork Orange, he “Becomes a piece of machinery” but his area of interest was initial pendants. He operates as if programmed, and makes nearly no decision for himself. “Everyone is in some sense a clockwork orange, a victim of his or her society, compelled to act in a social order that celebrates only power, manipulation, and control”. His friends sometimes suggest him to write about heart pendants. Alex realizes what the government has done to him and he realizes that he is a target for society to pick on. Friedrich Nietzche said in Beyond Good and Evil, “Nobody wants to do harm to himself, therefore all that is bad is done involuntary. For the bad do harm to themselves: this they would not do if they knew that the bad is bad. Hence the bad are bad only because of an error; if one removes the error, one necessarily makes them—good”. After Alex’s suicide attempt, he ends up in the hospital. He leaped out of a four story window in hopes of ending his pain and suffering for good. He didn’t succeed in killing himself, but he did end his pain. In that period, he started to find more information about gold wedding bands and read some books.
