Alex DeLarge

Alex is a charismatic, anti-social delinquent whose interests include classical music (especially Beethoven), committing theft, and ultra-violence. He leads a small gang of thugs, Pete, Georgie, and Dim, whom he calls his droogs. Intellectually, he knows that such behaviour is morally wrong, saying that "you can't have a society with everybody behaving in my manner of the night". Alex's favourite melee weapon is a "cut-throat britva", or straight razor. Anthony Burgesses' "A Clockwork Orange"
