Alex is a charming sociopath. He definitely has his moments. He is energetic, witty, and cultured. And he certainly has a way with words; he talks like no one you have ever met. His biggest flaw is that he is a brutal sadist involved in heinous crimes. Alex is a smart “nadsat” [teen] boy with a penchant for what he calls “ultra-violence,” as well as a deep love for classical music. He is a manipulative sociopath, and he rarely feels remorse for his reprehensible actions.
