Problem
In our reading this semester, we have focused a lot of attention on gender as it relates to violence, as well as how different genders are represented in violent literature. For this short essay, I'd like you to focus on either the character of Alex or Villanelle, from the texts, and then reimagine their role within those texts if their gender were reversed. How do you think Alex's situation in A Clockwork Orange would be different if Alex had been portrayed as female? What if Villanelle had been male? How do you think the author's representations of the characters would change? Keep the culture of each novel in mind, but how would that help shape your opinions of either character? How might you as a reader expect either character to act as a different gender, and why? Look at these questions as springboards for other ideas and go from there.
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
