I'm still awake for several reasons. First, I have a natural tendency towards late hours. Second, I saw A Clockwork Orange for the first time this evening (ending very late, after 1 o'clock), and it's not easy to sleep after seeing a movie like that.

I'm insanely busy. (That's probably a given by now.) I have a rehearsal tomorrow (today!) at 1 o'clock, and I have to eat and get ready beforehand. I really cannot afford to miss sleep. What's even worse is that I have a major paper already overdue that I need to finish before Monday if I want to get any credit for it. I didn't even use my extra waking hours to accomplish any work on it today; ironically, I was too tired from staying up every night this week attempting to finish the stupid thing.

and I wonder if this is perhaps what Kubrick intended.

Having not read the novel behind the movie, I also wonder what the author intended.

Perhaps the purpose is to show disdain for both extremes, and subtly encourage folks to seek a less-than-perfect middle ground, where both sides must compromise.

I agree: I did not find Alex to be a sympathetic character in the least; in fact, I even found myself cheering the system at some points out of a sense of justice.
