Abstract
In depth analysis of Kubrick's three films that best reflect shared ideas of the fragile state humans can't help to put to the test. If society is limiting, what happens in the limitless? Using "A Clockwork Orange", "Barry Lyndon", and "Eyes Wide Shut" as well as their respective source novels, this question will be explored in conversation with philosophy from the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud to provide an anthropological context outside the realm of fiction in which Kubrick drew from. "Eyes Wide Shut" and Arthur Schnitzler's "Traumnouvelle" will be the main focus of the latter half of the essay, given their implications and sheer importance that can't not be touched on in the realm of adaptation.
