Early on in that book I expected that the "catcher in the rye" would be his dead brother. What with the catcher's mitt and all.

Alex is the clockwork orange. It is a metaphor for a man deprived of his will to choose between moral and amoral actions.

An obvious novice, I simply took it as such, and saw it as either a combination of satire and tragedy, or just a dark kind of satire. Maybe it was satire enough for the Romans, I thought. It's not farce or slapstick, certainly. I don't even think those existed back then.
I've only seen both 1960s films

Really? At the end of Canto XXI

"To leftward o’er the pier they turn’d; but each
Had first between his teeth prest close the tongue,
Toward their leader for a signal looking,
Which he with sound obscene triumphant gave."
