F. Alexander

The author of the manuscript "A Clockwork Orange," which gives the novel its central image of a man turned into a deterministic mechanism. Holed up in his ultramodern home, Mr. Alexander writes books, deemed subversive by the government, about the need to protect the rights of the individual from the government. He seems to be a fighter for the rights of people. He is very kind and hot-headed. He wants the society to become better but definitely not by the moves of the Government.

Alex's gang rapes and kills F. Alexander's wife at the start of the novel. In Part Three, F. Alexander enlists Alex in his party's crusade against the totalitarian government. He becomes a figure of the father for Alex (he didn’t know that he is responsible for the death f his wife). After some time, when he realized for what Alex was in prison he wanted to kill him (also, it will help to fight against the Government).

This famous writer is an opponent to the ruling party. However, his concerns for the rights of the individual seem hypocritical when we see he is ready to use Alex as a pawn to topple the government, even if that means sacrificing Alex’s life. In the novel, Mr. Alexander is the character who introduces the phrase “a clockwork orange,” which derives from the East London Cockney saying, “as queer as a clockwork orange.” So you now see who was the founder of the phrase, which became the title of the story. This phrase suggests something that looks natural and organic on the outside, but that is artificial and mechanical on the inside. Mr. Alexander claims that the government treats human beings as if they were clockwork oranges—creatures who look human but who can be manipulated and directed as if they were robots.
