Both Brighton Rock and Clockwork Orange focus mainly around the two criminal characters.
Both Brighton Rock and Clockwork Orange focus mainly around to criminal character’s and both go into in depth breakdowns of the minds of their criminal main characters and use this to encourage readers to become interested and engulfed in the books. Greene and Burgess both use depictions of the criminal minds to interest the readers.
One way Greene does this is through narrative methods such as illustrating Pinkie’s thought process during the attempted murder of Spicer and his own eventual attack by Colleoni this gives the reader an detailed look at the thoughts of Pinkie and the criminal mind and this gives the character depth which involves the reader and creates interest in the characters. This is similar to the way Alex breaks down his arrest.
