Double Dose of Sad Novel Themes

Just transitioned from reading The Heavenly Man to A Clockwork Orange. Torturous violence is inflicted upon people in each, but there is a shocking contrast as to why. In The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun, a man refuses to deny God, and so suffers brutal consequences. In A Clockwork Orange, moral fiber has long since evaporated and young kids commit the evilest of crimes for pleasure. I'm left wondering which is worse?
