I have read the book, it's pretty good. Nabokov is really talented at prose.

The book is not pro-libertarian at all. It shows the main character as a complete narcisist who's obssesed with a kid
!bookworms this thinks Lolita is a pro-libertarianism book

People who believe Lolita is pro pedophilia should seriously read the book. Is very clear to the reader that Humbert Humbert is a monster with no self awareness, it just happens that he's a fun and witty character (the parts he kept trashing Lolita's mom calling her fat cow lmao) instead of a one-dimensional villain but that's because he's supposed to be charming, always luring people towards him like a predator, and we only read through his point of view, he kidnapped and r*ped a 12 year old girl and by the time she was 14 he called her βmy aging mistressβ, there was nothing redeemable about him.

The entire book is also told from his PoV. He's a narcissist with an inflated ego, he's always the smartest, most charming and handsome guy anywhere he goes.
In the same tone he tells us he's a he also tells us Lolita loves him, it might all also be in his head

I think Mrs. Haze was definitely enchanted by the whole βsophisticated European manβ faΓ§ade he put, I'm also convinced he killed her, the accident was waaay too convenient and just a few pages before he tells the reader he planned to drown her at the lake.
The parts where he claims Dolores βseduced himβ are so cringe and is either all made up or something he completely misinterpreted in his sick mind.

It's been a while since I read it so I've forgotten a good chunk of the details
Esses dias tava na academia e vendo a moça na minha frente me lembrei dele falando sobre as "coxas grossas de camponesa" da mulher. Ele certamente não ficaria feliz no mundo atual

Esse livro criou a palavra βninfetaβ
Humbert odiaria o Brasil !macacos
Mas ali que tΓ‘ a habilidade do Nabokov como autor, eu por exemplo tenho uma irmΓ£ mais nova, entΓ£o achei o Humbert um personagem muito nojento e o tema do livro bastante forte, mas depois o cara jogava cada pΓ©rola que nem essa frase, o Nabokov consegue que esses personagens horrΓveis tenham charme.

The Kubrick movie shows this too, maybe not as effectively, but he's still a total creep

It's widely considered to be one of the best books of all time
I may be unable to read past the first page without feeling like too much of a creep to continue but i will still defend it

ironically the first few pages are the only ones that make you sympathetic to the main character. He becomes more and more of an unlikeable creep as the book goes on.
