That's really difficult. Perhaps I feel sorry for him because he was sort of used for the experiment that backfired? I am really unsure.

It evened everything out. I felt sorry for him in some parts of the story, hence my selection.

Sorry, I can't over look what he had done in the movie. The rape scene is forever burned in my memory. Can't forgive that. The dude is a dog.

As much as I love this film, as much as I love the character of Alex, I didn't feel any sympathy for him. What you sow is what you reap.

I LOVE a clockwork orange and alex as a character. But brutally raping women and beating up defenceless old men? Not okay.

I found him fascinating but there was no sympathy. He didnt even seen to have sympathy when he met Mr Alexander and discovered his wife had died as a result of what the droogs did.

Yes I feel very sorry for him, I felt compassion. I agree that he did a lot of horrible things and I don't think what he did was ok. But he was a defenseless victim too and this is not ok either. I really don't feel happy to see this. I really believe we are supposed to forgive people and give them a second, third, fourth and as many chances as they need.

I don't agree with what they did to him, but I can't feel sorry for him, not after what he did

It's hard to decide. He is evil, and yet he is at some points easy to sympathise with.

Well, I did. Am I crazy for thinking his time on prison was enough for him to pay for his crimes?

I sympathised with Alex in the movie version but found myself thinking worse of Alex in the book.
