Would Lolita be described as an erotic novel or a romantic one?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 21 03:57:44 2018 No.11186470 Depends on what you get from the book. Some people find it a vulgar, smutty tale of a man repeatedly molesting a 12 year-old and some people find it to be a beautiful romance.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 21 07:23:22 2018 No.11187140 The prose is absolutely romantic (of course humbert is distorting the truth though) and not really erotic at all

>>	Anonymous Mon May 21 08:52:56 2018 No.11187422 >>11187140 This. If anyone thinks Lolita is erotic I unironically recommend them to read smut fanfiction, it makes one appreciate the subtlety in works like Lolita

>>	Anonymous Mon May 21 09:00:17 2018 No.11187441 Those shopped adeolas tho Lolita is romantic because that's how Humbert views it and spins it for himself. It is never overtly sexual except when he describes the rift actual intercourse forces between them physically and emotionally
