Throughout the film, the spectator has
been aligned with the central character Alex, whether it be taking pleasure in
his actions or taking punishment for those actions as he himself does. Therefore, we must share his feelings when he
is cured at the end of the film.
His Ludovico Treatment is reversed, and
he can again take pleasure in ultra violence. The last few seconds presents a
dream of his, as the soundtrack of Beethoven plays over and he can now commit
what he could at the start. We, the spectator can again take pleasure in his
acts.
