Humbert Humbert is a hilarious yet pitiful protagonist of a darkly humorous novel. Though he may be referred to as poetic, if you strip down the skillful and artistic metaphors, the only words left for him are: pedophile and or pervert. Humbert moves into the household of Charlotte Haze, in New England. His sexual affection for young girls cuts deeper when he sees the love of his life, Lolita. Despite her to be the daughter of his land lady and her age only being twelve, he craves for her affection. Taking advantage of the apparent affections Lolita's mother has for Humbert, he does everything he is able to to shorten his distance from Lolita, even by becoming her new father. This savaged and subversive novel is perplexing and raw yet ravishing and pleasant. Lolita is a brilliantly and beautifully written book with delicate details and vivid conception. Vladimir Nabokov succeeds to produce another book of twisting plots and cryptic characters.
