This dangerous consequence of obsession and fixation often impacts the subject of obsession. Lolita is a direct victim of Humbert’s mania however Moby Dick, the subject of Ahab’s obsession is quite the opposite. Unlike Lolita, in the story of Moby Dick, Ahab is the victim of his own obsession and it is this obsession that leads to his doom. Ahab however cannot see this, his hatred of Moby Dick overpowers him and only his crew mates can see reason such as Pip, “I tell thee thou must not follow Ahab

The novel Lolita exposes the pedophilia and perversion in the text; however, the child pornography invoked is very similar to the abrasive ads, commercials, and images viewed in America. It seems sanctimonious that such a controversial novel because of the pedophilia, does not take into account objectifying young girls. Integrity is not the concern in Lolita; a novel that represents the exploitation towards the young girls is. While Humbert is a perverse and gruesome man that has pedophiliac desires

Lolita. The epic journey of a mentally deranged peodophile and his descent into complete and utter madness, accompanied by his fantasy girl. A girl that exists only to please and torment Humbert Humbert, the main character of Vladimir Nabokov's novel, Lolita. A novel that completely negates the female character, dehumanizing and objectifying them, to the point where they could easily be replaced by inanimate objects or abstract thoughts. This is done through the thoughts, comments, and actions

Eroticism is also created from the sexualization of girlhood, leading to the desires of older men (Kehily, 2012). The most notorious example of girlhood eroticism is the creation of the Lolita. The concept of the Lolita was created by author Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita, a story about an older man whose obsession of a 12 year-old girls causes him to fantasize, lust, and eventually “groom” her into having an affair. This aided in the development of eroticism where girls can “appear simultaneously

A man of many talents, Vladimir Nabokov is known not only for his controversial work Lolita, he was also an avid lepidopterist – in particular, butterflies. There is no doubt that when penning Lolita’s character, Nabokov imprinted several butterfly characteristics on her. This essay however does not seek to investigate the parallels between Lolita and the metamorphosis of a butterfly. Rather, it takes the road less travelled and examines the parallels between Nabokov and Humbert Humbert, not as a

might find it difficult to draw comparisons between the two protagonists: James Gatsby, from The Great Gatsby, and Humbert Humbert, from Lolita. Gatsby’s is the tragic story of a self-made man who built himself an empire for a woman who would never love him. Humbert Humbert, on the other hand, is a manipulative and witty pervert who lusts after the vulgar nymphet, Lolita. Both men are extremely similar in one key aspect, however. Both Gatsby and Humbert have idealized an encounter from their youth and

scarce able to afford Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby. (lines 1-6) Nabokov’s character Humbert Humbert from Lolita is perfectly described in this stanza from Robert Browning’s “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came.” Nabokov compares Humbert to many poets throughout Lolita. Humbert likens himself to a Romantic poet with the intent of rationalizing his crime of pedophilia as an artistic endeavor. To Humbert, in particular, life really does

This passage is what Driblette says to Oedipa about the play The Courier’s Tragedy. Of course, I am not dismissing Gravity’s Rainbow as a nonentity. I choose this passage to be the general epigraph for Gravity’s Rainbow, first because it genuinely echoes what some classmates said in class about the value of Gravity’s Rainbow. Also, this passage as an epigraph, especially the first sentence, is just hilarious, and thus consistent with the seriocomic nature of Gravity’s Rainbow. Many classmates find

Comparing and Contrasting Lolita and A Clockwork Orange Society is the binding force between people within a community. Different cultures spawn different societies, but they all share something in common: a set of rules and expectations to fulfill. When people fail to fulfill these expectations, often their community reacts negatively towards them and this is a common problem in society today. For example, many communities are not accepting of those who have differing religions from that of their

The Many Personalities of Lolita and Humbert in Nabokov’s Lolita Although they are intimately involved, the title character of Nabokov's Lolita never fully reveals her true self to Humbert. Likewise, Humbert pours his physical love into Lolita, but he never reveals to his stepdaughter a self that is separate from his obsession with her. These two characters mask large parts of their personalities from each other and the rest of the world, creating different images and personas in regard to
