As an unforeseen side effect, hearing classical music provokes in Alex the same response, as does violence because classical music is on the soundtrack of many of the films he was shown. After his treatment, he is released, and considered thoroughly harmless. The government boasts of Alex's treatment as a great victory for law and order and plans to implement it on a wide scale.
.
When Alex is released, he has no idea what to do. The people he wronged in the past take their revenge on him; now they can hit him, and he is unable to hit back. Dim, his old friend, and Billyboy, an old enemy, now both policemen, drive him out into a field, beat him, and leave him. Trying to find someone to help him, Alex knocks at the door of a cottage. A man lets him in and very kindly gives him dinner and a room for the night. Alex recognizes the man as the writer he beat up and whose wife he raped, but the man does not recognize Alex, who wore a mask on that long-ago night. This writer, F. Alexander, is a political dissident. He and his friends come up with a plan to use Alex to make the repressive government look bad, they drive him to suicide by locking him in a room and piping classical music into it, so Alex is driven by the sick feeling to throw himself out the window. They plan to blame the government for the boy's death. The fall, however, does not kill Alex, and government psychologists reverse Ludovico's Technique on him while he is unconscious, so that, when he comes to, he is back to his old happy, violent self. He gets back to his old tricks for a while, with a new gang, but he's growing up and begins to get tired of his thug's life. At the end of the movie, he starts thinking about settling down, marrying, and having a son.
Among many things A Clockwork Orange deals with, avoidance of bad company is a major theme. Perhaps if Alex had avoided the company of his "friends" he would not have been in the situations he was in.
