Concerned with the imbalance between the individual and the state, as well as punishment and redemption, this dystopian novel was a dark satirical comment on morality and consequence, drug use, desensitization to violence, and youth in revolt.
The novel has had numerous attempts at banning on the grounds of sexual violence. The film adaptation was pulled by Kubrick himself, amid accusations that copycat crimes were being committed in parts of England which were influenced by the movie’s graphic scenes of violence.
