The use of italics suggest this is a stage direction, which formally has a direct impact on the audience as the scene is pure violence, which completely contrasts the Byron that talked himself out of violent situations before. Complete silence shows the audience the true nature of violence. Brutal and ‘Bloody’.

Alex narrates the Korova Milkbar to be the place where teenagers go to get ‘milk plus something else’, which is always being ‘prodding some new veshches’ to give Alex and his droogs a ‘nice quiet Horrorshow’.

Moreover the Korova Milkbar conveys the ability of this twisted society to corrupt the innocent and pure as the ‘mothers milk’ which is a symbol of purity, innocence and youth has been contaminated by the drugs that have infested it. Furthermore Alex’s reference to getting ‘introduced to old Bog’, as a way of describing what happens when the drugs in the milk take effect show the way in which the society has bastardised the Christian religion. Using God to describe a drug experience clearly demonstrates to the reader Alex’s and the society’s ability to neglect the Christian religion, potentially creating a link to the rejection of all religious and moral principals.
