With a subject that make us wonder if its right or wrong.with its well written words of vladimir he uses word play and irony to justify Humert actions.
The main character writes this story from jail with a tone ready to defend himself to the "jury".humbert begs the reader to understand that he is not proud of his sexual relationship with Lolita,but is filled with remorse.you can not face the facts that having a union with a minor is illegal and is not condoned.what if Lolita seduced Professor Humbert.with flirtation that she was giving off were the downfall for Humber. he was stunned at first glimpse ,with his writings and poetry about Lolita this wasn't subduction it was lust for a child.lolita was not any old child she had sexually relations before humbert.this is where vladimir word play comes together. is it right if Lolita was fine on how thing were?
Lolita was mature for her age due to her urges for sex.was it all Humbert fault in this fucked up story? Lolita was a lotted gun that did what she wanted.was there love in this relationship? i don't think Lolita was on the same page due to the death of her mother.
Humbert obsesion soon leads to insanity. through out the book humbert does loses his temper with lolita accusing her for cheating with other boy.however lolita holds over his head that she will turn him in.throght the eyes of humbert this is his dream marriage, never to let go of this beautiful girl lolita.
