[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 184893, member: 2509"] Ha! Burgess thought the same thing. As you know, of course, the movie and some American versions of the book end at the penultimate chapter to provide a "gritty" dystopian work in which the protagonist does not move, and which pissed off Burgess greatly,though he took their money!. Some books, perhaps, should not be read by the very young. The three works that I had the most difficulty in teaching were rhis,, [I]Death of a Salesman[/I] (I gave up on teaching it as s tragedy and presented it as a [I]Bildungsroman[/I] instead!) and [I]Jude the Obscure[/I] for whom the Chicago North Shore children of rich parents had nothing but contempt Rupert Brooke, whom no one reads any more, presented the "youthful" view in Ancient History" (Is that right? The twin poems that begin, "Hot through Troy's ruins Menelaus broke" and end with "And Paris slept on by Scamander's side") But he died too young to change his opinion.And of course, the novel changes every time that I read it, as is proper. Try rereading it in the context of neoplatonism f you have not done so already. It may add something. [/QUOTE]
