This answer is based around the movie as I would assume it is where the question comes from. The writer of the movie wanted to give the movie a name that would be more of a pun to compliment the odd nature of the message hidden in the film. The word 'clockwork' is a direct comparison to a person who is almost mechanically responsive. The word 'orang' (the 'e' was added for looks) is translated from the Malaysian word for 'man'. A person (or creature) who can only perform good or evil is "a clockwork orange - meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice, but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil; or the almighty state" - Anthony Burgess

"A Clockwork Orange" follows the story of Alex, a young delinquent in a dystopian society. After being arrested for his violent crimes, he undergoes an experimental form of rehabilitation that strips him of his ability to choose between right and wrong, leading to a debate on the nature of free will and the implications of societal control.

∙ 10y agoA Clockwork Orange takes place in a futuristic city governed by a repressive, totalitarian super-State. In this society, ordinary citizens have fallen into a passive stupor of complacency, blind to the insidious growth of a rampant, violent youth culture. The protagonist of the story is Alex, a fifteen-year-old boy who narrates in a teenage slang called nadsat, which incorporates elements of Russian and Cockney English. Alex leads a small gang of teenage criminals-Dim, Pete, and Georgie-through the streets, robbing and beating men and raping women. Alex and his friends spend the rest of their time at the Korova Milkbar, an establishment that serves milk laced with drugs, and a bar called the Duke of New York .
