What is a truly good person? Who are they, and how can someone become a good person? A Clockwork Orange is a book that questions these questions for us The main character Alex is someone with bad habits who is far from goodness.
As a result, Alex, who was imprisoned, was used in an experiment by the government.This experiment is a technique applied to make people better. This technique, which is applied to Alex, raises this question in the reader's mind: Is a person who cannot choose goodness of their own free will truly good?
Many people choose to be good because of the fear of being excluded or the desire for social approval. It is debatable how moral this situation is. The book says that humans are like 'clockwork oranges.' A human is natural like a real orange, but a 'clockwork orange' is a human who acts like a machine because of outside pressure. According to this, if a person tries to be good because of social pressure or fear, they are not an organic human anymore; they have become a puppet of society. So, when Alex is 'cured' with this technique, he does not become a good person anymore; he just turns into a machine that is afraid of doing evil.
At the end of the book, Alex gets free from this technique and, instead of being evil like before, he decides to be a good person by his own free will. This situation can be interpreted in many ways, such as maturity, a fatigue of evil, or the realization that being evil no longer contributes anything to him. Consequently in my opinion, true goodness is not an action forced by outside pressure; it should come from the heart by one's own free will.

Fistly,I want to express some doubts about the reliability of the narrator, Nick Carraway, who tells the life of the main character, Jay Gatsby, from his own perspective because Nick sometimes praises Gatsby and sometimes expresses critical thoughts about him. This situation shows that the narrator is not completely objective and tells the story according to his own feelings.
Secondly, we see the American Dream theme from the beginning to the end of the story. The American Dream is the belief that no matter which social class people come from, they can become rich and successful through hard work. This thought is Jay Gatsby’s main motivation. His obsessive love for Daisy Buchanan and his hope that she will return to him one day lead him to work harder and do everything he can to become rich. The novel conveys this hope through the symbol of the green light. The green light comes from Daisy’s house, and when Gatsby looks at it, he sees his dreams and hopes. So the green light shows Gatsby’s dreams and the future he wants, and it also shows how unreachable the American Dream can be.
In addition, Jay Gatsby organizes big and flashy parties to prove his wealth and to show it to Daisy Buchanan. However, this situation did not affect either Daisy or the other people. Because society was divided into two parts: “new money” (people who became rich later) and “old money” (people who inherited their wealth). Although Gatsby became rich through his own efforts, he was not appreciated and was even despised by society. Therefore, Daisy did not choose to be with him. This situation shows that for Daisy, social status and wealth were more important than love.
Finally, Jay Gatsby was left alone at the end of his life despite his struggles. Nearly nobody came to his funeral. This
