nature of his actions. His creation of a “nymphet” (Nabokov‚ 1955‚ p.16) is almost an extension of ‘Annabel Lee’ by Edgar Allen Poe‚ and sets the ground for the fantastical element in his autobiography. Parallels are drawn with Humbert’s first sexual experience and the poem: it occurred in a “princedom by the sea” with a girl named Annabel Leigh. He continues the whimsical fairytale by calling Dolores “my darling–my darling-my life and my bride” (Nabokov‚ 1955‚ p.47)‚ an exact line from the poem. Such

The Vladimir Virgin is an icon painting that was created sometime within the late 11th century and early 12th century. It is painted with tempera and originally on a wood panel approximately 30.5"x21". It was probably painted by a Constantinople artist.

Using his circumstances and credibility as a scholarly figure (not to mention newly acquired fatherly credibility) to give into his own desires. I similarly manipulate my circumstances

Nabokov tries to explain his use of language from a modernist approach: language is complex ‚ Humbert describes in great detail his feelings and thoughts‚ the struggle inside him between the "monster" and the "gentleman". The "nymphet" seen as a modernist feature is a form of art‚ as well as his love for her‚ which is not physical love but mainly a love for beauty and innocence. There is a focus on the inner world‚ the world seen through his eyes. Humbert is a typical modern character: sensitive

Vladimir Nobokov’s protagonist in Lolita portrays women as ingloriously uncouth imps. Humbert regards the women he encounters as inelegant and boorish compared to the nymphets he over which he obsesses‚ his repugnance towards women such as Mrs. Pratt‚ Charlotte Haze‚ and Valeria contrasts from his compassionate yearning for Annabel Leigh or Lolita. In this paper I will argue that Humbert displays such disinterest and aversion of women order to epitomize the division between the youthful innocence

Lenin killed thousands of people and instigated the “Red Terror;” he also had no regard for human life.
