1. Why do you think that Alex’s parents adopted a new “son” and forgot about Alex? = Because Alex is so messed up and they want a better son.

2. Why do you think that Alex can no longer listen to classical music? = Alex loved classical music the same way as he loved the violence, so after the treatment, he feels the same pain as when he is watching or doing violence.

3. Do you think that Alex deserved to be beaten up by so many people when he got out of jail? = He does deserve it, but I do not think that he should get beaten up for what he has done.

4. Why do you think Alex was pushed to jump out the window? = He was in such a pain, and he wanted to be freed from it. So he decides to suicide so he can be peaceful.

5. Why do you think that Alex finally learned his lesson? = During the last chapter, he shows that he has grown a bit. He compares his 'youth' to 'wind-up toys that just advance in straight lines until they run up against obstacles'. He then thinks about if he will get married and have a son, and he expects his future son to be like Alex, and he thinks that there is nothing wrong with that because people always go through what Alex went through and they learn it from the mistakes they make.
