Quote 1
"Life is a very wonderful thing," said Dr. Branom in a like very holy goloss. "The processes of life, the make-up of the human organism, who can fully understand these miracles? Dr. Brodsky is, of course, a remarkable man. What is happening to you now is what should happen to any normal healthy human organism contemplating the actions of the forces of evil, the workings of the principle of destruction. You are being made sane, you are being made healthy." (2.5.9)
Interestingly, Dr. Brodsky believes that Ludovico's Technique is restoring "human nature" to Alex, rather than taking it away from him. Even if it means the removal of Alex's free will, Dr. Brodsky believes in forcing people to conform to a "norm" of human instincts and behavior.
Quote 2
"You felt ill this afternoon," he said, "because you're getting better. When we're healthy we respond to the presence of the hateful with fear and nausea. You're becoming healthy, that's all. You'll be healthier still this time tomorrow." (2.5.13)
It is noteworthy that Dr. Brodsky treats Alex as sick, needing to be made healthy in order to act normally or "humanly" towards violence and crime. This "healing" also removes Alex's ability to act freely.
Quote 3
Dr. Brodsky said to the audience: "Our subject is, you see, impelled towards the good by, paradoxically, being impelled towards evil. The intention to act violently is accompanied by strong feelings of physical distress. To counter these the subject has to switch to a diametrically opposed attitude. Any questions?" (2.7.12)
How does Dr. Brodsky convince himself that it is natural for humans to choose to be nonviolent in order to avoid getting sick by thinking violent thoughts? How can it be natural if your acts are dictated by fear or avoidance behavior and not by free will?
