    In the original 21 chapter version, the final chapter sees Alex grow up.

I went into the book hearing Burgess didn't like Kubrick's changes, but frankly the last chapter just feels amoral and out of place. Alex doesn't recognize good or feel remorse... he kind of just grows bored and grows up, like ultra-violence is just another phase.
