I didn't enjoy it until I was 27. Regardless of its content, it's a very enjoyable book simply for the prowess of its writing. I can open it up to any page and simply bask in the language, similar to Ulysses.

No it literally wasn't, first age of consent law passed in medival england put it at 12 for girls. You can marry them even younger with parental consent.
Heroines in ancient myths, such as Helen of Troy was under the age of 12. For girls, woman reach womanhood at 12.

Better question: why do the publishers have so much fun making covers of a book dealing with pedophilia, and with such little subtlety? These covers are like putting a big retarded person in blackface on a Faulkner book

Age of consent laws have absolutely nothing to do with what was and wasn't the norm. At no point in history has it ever been the norm to marry at 12.

You are deluded, girls were considered to be woman when they started menstruating which on average is the age of twelve. I can go by and make you a list of historical figures who had brides who were quite young. Charlemagne is the first to come into mind, whose first wife gave birth at age 13.
>you made this up
In most accounts of this event, Helen was quite young; Hellanicus of Lesbos said she was seven years old and Diodorus makes her ten years old.
>Hellanicus 4F134; Diodorus 4.63.1–3
On the other hand, Stesichorus said that Iphigenia was the daughter of Theseus and Helen, which obviously implies that Helen was of childbearing age.
>Stesichorus, fr. 191 PMG.
Being at least 10 would put her at the possibility of childbbearing age.

I think you're just brainwashed by the social purity movement.

Not him, Helen wasn't 12 at the time of the siege of Troy, but there are legends relating to her being courted when she was 12 or possibly younger.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_of_Troy
>Two Athenians, Theseus and Pirithous, thought that since they were sons of gods, they should have divine wives; they thus pledged to help each other abduct two daughters of Zeus. Theseus chose Helen
>In most accounts of this event, Helen was quite young; Hellanicus of Lesbos said she was seven years old and Diodorus makes her ten years old.[

Of course there are variations depending on sources, but Helen being seriously underage (by our standards) when someone first try to marry her is a common take.


Likewise, Juliet is around 14 in the eponymous Shakespeare play. Keep in mind marriages were often financial and political agreements between family, so they could be decided and even take place before the spouse's puberty (or not, depending on local culture).

White girls finger bang themselves to a few paragraphs they skimmed in the first few chapters. Real intellectual Chad’s know part 2 and the overall second half is the novels best part. Humbert Humbert cat and mouse game with inspector trapp aka quilt my was riotously funny. Lolita really is mostly a autistic man chronicling his love of Americana really
