Self-inserting as Humbert: plebeian
"Eww, disgusting pedo": even more pleb
Imaging that you are the little girl: patrician

>Having a personal connection and identification to anything in this world instead of existing in a state of perpetually increasing alienation

Plebeian.

Why do you think Lolita hardly got any characterization?

shes like 7
girls, especially 7 year olds, arent that deep.

even at the end of the book shes like 17 and all she cares about is her stupid baby and husband and getting money, completely forgetting about her long ride on the cock carousel and happily chatting with her supposed 'abuser'.

i think nabvomir vladokov was red pilled

Women are simply inferior to us as redpilled men of reason and rationality and logic

There is a prof at my uni who always says:
"Now Humbert Humbert...
He's not a pedophile. He's not a pedophile. He's a hebephile. Lolita is in the early stages of puberty. Humbert Humbert is not a pedophile. When he has his way with her, I don't like to think that he's raping her. I think that he's actually restoring her innocence. He's repairing her hymen."

He has been teaching for longer than anybody else and he has tenure

It's like if /pol/ was right. Universities are full of degenerates.

the whole point of the Humbert character is that he's a deranged narcissist. Scenes where Humbert's solipsism slips and you get a glimpse of Lolita's subjectivity- she's not a perverse nymphet nor am innocent child, but an ordinary 12 year old, and 12 year olds can be pretty dumb- are among the most disturbing/effective. I think Nabokov actually despised Humbert, even though in a way he reflects some aspects of himself

>> No.8822935

Humbert was a cuck.
