I'd say the old drunkards are dosto's inserts. But there weren't any on that book

For Paradise Lost we have god Yhwh as the villain, but in Lolita, can the other pedo be called a villain just because HH doesn't like him?

they function as protagonist and as antagonist

how does that not fulfill every qualification of "villain"?

if you clarify what you meant to exclude all instances of where the protagonist functions as villain, then i think at least in the case of Lolita that HH primarily functions as antagonist, and its his role as protagonist which is redundant
