Governmental morality shows both similarities and differences between the novels. In both novels, the governments are seen trying to regulate the thought of the citizens. Implementing the Ludovico Technique is an attempt at irradiating the citizen’s free will: “When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man” (Burgess 48). If citizens are unable to commit acts of violence, they are unable to provide any resistance against the government.

The party members are divided into outer party members, such as Winston, who receive their weekly allowances of materials and are subjected to every whim of the Big Brother, and the inner party members who are more involved in the government. A Clockwork Orange presents the reader with social classes based on age: the obedient children, the rebellious youth, and the complacent adults; the comparison and contrasts between the youth and the adults is drawn through Alex and F. Alexander’s differences (Rabinovitz 46); the comparison goes
