A Clockwork Orange Home Invasion

During ‘Home Invasion’ how is spectator implicit in the attack?

The spectator is implicit in the attack by being denied a point of view of the women during the attack and being placed far away from her. We also align with the group during this. We are also placed far away from Alex as he is the one committing the violence and also has a mask on so we don’t see his face during the attack, if we did I think that the spectator would dislike Ale and stop aligning with him.

The spectator is implicit by using the male gaze by making us take pleasure in the images of the women.  The woman is denied a view in this scene and is passive. The older man with the older woman is seen as a male’s ideal relationship, and we don’t walk out or stop watching this because we see the images of the women from the droogs ideology.
