    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 film adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita has further helped me understand my own compulsive nature and the lengths at which those compulsions have taken themselves to be. However‚ i’m not a middle-aged man toying around with an orphaned pre-teen but I do empathize myself within the main protagonist Humbert Humbert. 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.

In this paper I will argue that Humbert displays such disinterest and aversion of women order to epitomize the division between the youthful innocence
