When one cannot choose, one ceases to be a man.” This is shared after Alex pleads that he wants to be a better person and do something good, for once. If Alex has had free will his whole conscious life, then he has made the choice to be a criminal and do terrible things.

And although his cries of wanting to be a better member of society and his eagerness to show that he has been reformed are seen, could he enter back into everyday life as a better person? On the contrary, what if Alex did not have free will at all? That all his choices leading to his actions were predetermined from birth. Then even with the remorseful acknowledgments of becoming a good Christian man after being a model prisoner for two years could not change him. So, the government decides to try to change
