Youth is bound to pass. No doubt about it. It is merely an illustration of animal behavior. Or rather, a trinket sold at street vendors, an iron-plated clockwork doll which walks once wound up. A Clockwork Orange is a fantasy novella which tells the story of a problem boy from the future society of Britain. He plunged into crime driven by adolescent hormone before he was deprived of his free will as punishment. When he reentered society after rehabilitation, he realized he was just a clockwork orange in the hands of God.
