The <a href="/wiki/Protagonist" title="Protagonist">protagonist</a> is a French literature professor who moves to <a href="/wiki/New_England" title="New England">New England</a> and writes under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert. He describes his obsession with a 12-year-old "<a href="/wiki/Nymphet" class="mw-redirect" title="Nymphet">nymphet</a>", Dolores Haze, whom he kidnaps and <a href="/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse" title="Child sexual abuse">sexually abuses</a> after becoming her stepfather. Privately, he calls her "Lolita", the Spanish diminutive for <a href="/wiki/Dolores_(given_name)" title="Dolores (given name)">Dolores</a>. The novel was originally written in English, but fear of <a href="/wiki/Censorship" title="Censorship">censorship</a> in the U.S. (where Nabokov lived) and Britain led to it being first published in Paris, France, in 1955 by <a href="/wiki/Olympia_Press" title="Olympia Press">Olympia Press</a>.

The memoir, which addresses the audience as his jury, begins with Humbert's birth in <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> in 1910 to an English mother and Swiss father. He spends his childhood on the <a href="/wiki/French_Riviera" title="French Riviera">French Riviera</a>, where he falls in love with his friend Annabel Leigh. This youthful and physically unfulfilled love is interrupted by Annabel's premature death from <a href="/wiki/Typhus" title="Typhus">typhus</a>, which causes Humbert to become sexually obsessed with a specific type of girl, aged 9 to 14, whom he refers to as "nymphets". After graduation, Humbert works as a teacher of French literature and begins editing an academic literary textbook, making passing references to repeated stays in mental institutions at this time. He is briefly married to a woman named Valeria before she leaves him for another man. Before the outbreak of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Humbert emigrates to America. In 1947, he moves to Ramsdale, a small town in <a href="/wiki/New_England" title="New England">New England</a>, where he can calmly continue working on his book. The house that he intends to live in is destroyed in a fire. In his search for a new home, he meets the widow Charlotte Haze, who is looking for a lodger. Humbert visits Charlotte's residence out of politeness and initially intends to decline her offer. However, Charlotte leads Humbert to her garden, where her 12-year-old daughter Dolores (also variably known as Dolly, Lo, and Lola) is sunbathing. Humbert sees in Dolores, whom he calls Lolita, the perfect nymphet and the embodiment of his first love Annabel, and quickly decides to move in. The impassioned Humbert constantly searches for discreet forms of fulfilling his sexual urges, usually via the smallest physical contact with Dolores. When she is sent to summer camp, Humbert receives a letter from Charlotte, who confesses her love for him and gives him an <a href="/wiki/Ultimatum" title="Ultimatum">ultimatum</a>—he is to either marry her or move out immediately. Initially terrified, Humbert then begins to see the charm in the situation of being Dolores' stepfather, and so marries Charlotte. After the wedding, Humbert experiments with drugging Charlotte with sleeping pills with the intention of later sedating both her and Dolores so that he can sexually assault Dolores. But while Dolores is at summer camp, Charlotte discovers Humbert's diary, in which she learns of his desire for her daughter and the disgust he feels towards Charlotte. Shocked and humiliated, Charlotte announces her plan to leave, taking Dolores with her, having already written a number of letters to her friends warning them of Humbert. Disbelieving his false assurance that the diary is only a sketch for a future novel, Charlotte runs out of the house to send the letters but is hit and killed by a swerving car. Humbert destroys the letters and retrieves Dolores from camp, claiming that her mother has fallen seriously ill and has been hospitalized. He then takes her to a high-end hotel that Charlotte had earlier recommended, where he tricks her into taking a <a href="/wiki/Somnifacient" title="Somnifacient">sedative</a> by saying it is a vitamin. As he waits for the pill to take effect, he wanders through the hotel and meets a mysterious man who seems to be aware of Humbert's plan for Dolores. Humbert excuses himself from the conversation and returns to the hotel room. There, he discovers that he has been fobbed off with a milder drug, as Dolores is merely drowsy and wakes up frequently, drifting in and out of sleep. He dares not initiate sexual contact with her that night. In the morning, Dolores reveals to Humbert that she engaged in sexual activity with an older boy while at camp that summer. Humbert then advances on Dolores, having sex with her. After leaving the hotel, Humbert reveals to Dolores that her mother is dead. In the coming days, the two travel across the country, driving all day and staying in motels, where Dolores often cries at night. Humbert desperately tries to maintain Dolores' interest in travel and himself, increasingly bribing her in exchange for sexual favors. They finally settle in Beardsley, a small New England town. Humbert adopts the role of Dolores' father and enrolls her in a local <a href="/wiki/Single-sex_education" title="Single-sex education">private school for girls</a>. Humbert jealously and strictly controls all of Dolores' social gatherings and forbids her from dating and attending parties. It is only at the instigation of the school headmaster, who regards Humbert as a strict and conservative European parent, that he agrees to Dolores' participation in the school play, the title of which is the same as the hotel in which Humbert met the mysterious man. The day before the premiere of the performance, Dolores runs out of the house following an argument with Humbert. He chases after her and finds her in a nearby drugstore drinking an ice cream soda. She then tells him she wants to leave town for another road trip. Humbert is initially delighted, but as they travel, he becomes increasingly suspicious. He feels that he is being followed by someone Dolores is familiar with. Humbert increasingly displays signs of paranoia and mania, perhaps caused by his growing certainty that he and Dolores are being trailed by someone who wants to separate them. In the <a href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a> mountains, Dolores falls ill. Humbert checks her into a local hospital, from where she is discharged one night by her "uncle". Humbert knows she has no living relatives, and he immediately embarks on a frantic search to find Dolores and her abductor, but initially fails. For the next two years, Humbert barely sustains himself in a moderately functional relationship with a young alcoholic named Rita. Deeply <a href="/wiki/Depression_(mood)" title="Depression (mood)">depressed</a>, Humbert unexpectedly receives a letter from a 17-year-old Dolores, telling him that she is married, pregnant, and in desperate need of money. Humbert, armed with a pistol, tracks down her address against her wishes. At Dolores' request, he pretends to be her estranged father and does not mention the details of their past relationship to her husband, Richard. Dolores reveals to Humbert that her abductor was the famous playwright Clare Quilty, who had crossed paths with Humbert and Dolores several times. She explains that Quilty tracked the pair with her assistance, and took her from the hospital because she was in love with him. However, he later kicked her out when she refused to star in one of his pornographic films. Humbert claims to the reader that at this moment, he realized that he was in love with Dolores all along. Humbert implores her to leave with him, but she refuses. Accepting her decision, Humbert gives her the money she is owed from her inheritance. Humbert then goes to the drug-addled Quilty's mansion and shoots him dead. Shortly afterward, Humbert is arrested, and in his closing thoughts, he reaffirms his love for Dolores and asks for his memoir to be withheld from public release until after her death. The deaths of Humbert (shortly after his imprisonment) and Dolores (in childbirth on Christmas Day 1952) have been already related in the foreword. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Erotic_motifs_and_controversy">Erotic motifs and controversy</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Lolita&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Erotic motifs and controversy">edit</a>]</div> Lolita is frequently described as an "<a href="/wiki/Erotic_literature" title="Erotic literature">erotic novel</a>", not only by some critics but also in a standard reference work on literature, Facts on File: Companion to the American Short Story.<a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Great_Soviet_Encyclopedia" title="Great Soviet Encyclopedia">Great Soviet Encyclopedia</a> called Lolita "an experiment in combining an erotic novel with an instructive <a href="/wiki/Novel_of_manners" title="Novel of manners">novel of manners</a>."<a href="#cite_note-4">[3]</a> The same description of the novel is found in <a href="/wiki/Desmond_Morris" title="Desmond Morris">Desmond Morris</a>'s reference work The Book of Ages.<a href="#cite_note-5">[4]</a> A survey of books for <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_studies" title="Women's studies">women's studies</a> courses describes it as a "<a href="/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek" title="Tongue-in-cheek">tongue-in-cheek</a> erotic novel".<a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a> Books focused on the history of erotic literature such as Michael Perkins' The Secret Record: Modern Erotic Literature also so classify Lolita.<a href="#cite_note-7">[6]</a> More cautious classifications have included a "novel with erotic motifs"<a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a> or one of "a number of works of classical erotic literature and art, and to novels that contain elements of eroticism, such as <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_(novel)" title="Ulysses (novel)">Ulysses</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lady_Chatterley%27s_Lover" title="Lady Chatterley's Lover">Lady Chatterley's Lover</a>."<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> This classification has been disputed. <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Bradbury" title="Malcolm Bradbury">Malcolm Bradbury</a> writes "at first famous as an erotic novel, Lolita soon won its way as a literary one—a late <a href="/wiki/Modernism" title="Modernism">modernist</a> distillation of the whole crucial mythology."<a href="#cite_note-10">[9]</a> Samuel Schuman says that Nabokov "is a <a href="/wiki/Surrealism" title="Surrealism">surrealist</a>, linked to <a href="/wiki/Nikolai_Gogol" title="Nikolai Gogol">Gogol</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fyodor_Dostoevsky" title="Fyodor Dostoevsky">Dostoevsky</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Franz_Kafka" title="Franz Kafka">Kafka</a>.

In this way, Nabokov persuades the authorial audience towards Humbert before estranging them from him.<a href="#cite_note-Phelan-36">[35]</a>: 232  Phelan concludes that this process results in two misreadings of the novel: many readers will be taken in by Humbert's narration, missing the marks of estranging unreliability or detecting only some of the narrator's tricks, while other readers, in decoding the estranging unreliability, will conclude that all of Humbert's narration is unreliable.<a href="#cite_note-Phelan-36">[35]</a>: 236  William Riggan places Humbert in a tradition of unreliable narration embodied by the <a href="/wiki/Fool_(stock_character)" title="Fool (stock character)">fool</a> or clown, in particular the disguised insight of the <a href="/wiki/Wise_fool" title="Wise fool">wise fool</a> and the ironies, variations and ambiguities of the <a href="/wiki/Sotie" title="Sotie">sotie</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Riggan-32">[31]</a>: 82  For Riggan, Humbert's imprisonment in art and solipsism makes his account a parodic <a href="/wiki/Burlesque" title="Burlesque">burlesque</a> of <a href="/wiki/Confessional_writing" title="Confessional writing">confessional writing</a> that suspends the possibility of a realistic fiction in which Humbert's point of view is credible.<a href="#cite_note-Riggan-32">[31]</a>: 94–85  While superficially allied in his artistic aims with Nabokov's "espousal of esthetic bliss as the foremost criterion in the novel,"<a href="#cite_note-Riggan-32">[31]</a>: 92  Humbert separates himself with his contradictory depictions of himself and Lolita as literary constructs.

It bears many similarities to Lolita, but also has significant differences: it takes place in Central Europe, and the protagonist is unable to consummate his passion with his stepdaughter, leading to his suicide. The theme of <a href="/wiki/Hebephilia" title="Hebephilia">hebephilia</a> was already touched on by Nabokov in his short story "<a href="/wiki/A_Nursery_Tale" title="A Nursery Tale">A Nursery Tale</a>", written in 1926.<a href="#cite_note-66">[64]</a> Also, in the 1932 novel <a href="/wiki/Laughter_in_the_Dark_(novel)" title="Laughter in the Dark (novel)">Laughter in the Dark</a>, Margot Peters is 16 and has already had an affair when the middle-aged Albinus becomes attracted to her. In chapter three of the novel <a href="/wiki/The_Gift_(Nabokov_novel)" title="The Gift (Nabokov novel)">The Gift</a> (written in Russian in 1935–37), the similar gist of Lolita's first chapter is outlined to the protagonist, Fyodor Cherdyntsev, by his landlord Shchyogolev as an idea of a novel he would write "if I only had the time": a man marries a widow only to gain access to her young daughter, who resists all his passes. Shchyogolev says it happened "in reality" to a friend of his; it is made clear to the reader that it concerns himself and his stepdaughter Zina (15 at the time of Shchyogolev's marriage to her mother), who becomes the love of Fyodor's life. In April 1947, Nabokov wrote to <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Wilson" title="Edmund Wilson">Edmund Wilson</a>: "I am writing ... a short novel about a man who liked little girls—and it's going to be called The Kingdom by the Sea."<a href="#cite_note-67">[65]</a> The work expanded into Lolita during the next eight years. Nabokov used the title A Kingdom by the Sea in his 1974 pseudo-autobiographical novel <a href="/wiki/Look_at_the_Harlequins!" title="Look at the Harlequins!">Look at the Harlequins!</a> for a Lolita-like book written by the narrator who, in addition, travels with his teenage daughter Bel from motel to motel after the death of her mother; later, his fourth wife is Bel's look-alike and shares her birthday. In Nabokov's 1962 novel <a href="/wiki/Pale_Fire" title="Pale Fire">Pale Fire</a>, the titular poem by fictional John Shade mentions Hurricane Lolita coming up the American east coast in 1958, and narrator Charles Kinbote (in the commentary later in the book) notes it, questioning why anyone would have chosen an obscure Spanish nickname for a hurricane. There were no hurricanes named Lolita <a href="/wiki/1958_Atlantic_hurricane_season" title="1958 Atlantic hurricane season">that year</a>, but that is the year that Lolita was published in North America. The unfinished novel <a href="/wiki/The_Original_of_Laura" title="The Original of Laura">The Original of Laura</a>, published posthumously, features the character Hubert H. Hubert, an older man preying upon the then-child protagonist, Flora. Unlike those of Humbert Humbert in Lolita, Hubert's advances are unsuccessful. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Literary_pastiches,_allusions_and_prototypes">Literary pastiches, allusions and prototypes</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Lolita&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Literary pastiches, allusions and prototypes">edit</a>]</div> The novel abounds in <a href="/wiki/Allusion" title="Allusion">allusions</a> to classical and modern literature. Virtually all of them have been noted in The Annotated Lolita, edited and annotated by <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Appel_Jr." title="Alfred Appel Jr.">Alfred Appel Jr.</a> Many are references to Humbert's own favorite poet, <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe" title="Edgar Allan Poe">Edgar Allan Poe</a>. Humbert's first love, Annabel Leigh, is named after the "maiden" in the poem "<a href="/wiki/Annabel_Lee" title="Annabel Lee">Annabel Lee</a>" by Poe; this poem is alluded to many times in the novel, and its lines are borrowed to describe Humbert's love.

A variant of this line is <a href="/wiki/Reprise" title="Reprise">reprised</a> in the opening of chapter one, which reads "...had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea".<a href="#cite_note-Annotatedp334-69">[67]</a> Humbert Humbert's double name recalls Poe's "<a href="/wiki/William_Wilson_(short_story)" title="William Wilson (short story)">William Wilson</a>", a tale in which the main character is haunted by his <a href="/wiki/Doppelg%C3%A4nger" title="Doppelgänger">doppelgänger</a>, paralleling the presence of Humbert's own doppelgänger, Clare Quilty.

He even called Carroll the "first Humbert Humbert".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAppel1991381-72">[70]</a> Lolita contains a few brief allusions in the text to the Alice books, though overall Nabokov avoided direct allusions to Carroll. In her book, Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin, Joyce Milton claims that a major inspiration for the novel was <a href="/wiki/Charlie_Chaplin" title="Charlie Chaplin">Charlie Chaplin</a>'s relationship with his second wife, <a href="/wiki/Lita_Grey" title="Lita Grey">Lita Grey</a>, whose real name was Lillita and is often misstated as Lolita. Graham Vickers in his book Chasing Lolita: How Popular Culture Corrupted Nabokov's Little Girl All Over Again argues that the two major real-world predecessors of Humbert are Lewis Carroll and Charlie Chaplin. Although Appel's comprehensive Annotated Lolita contains no references to Charlie Chaplin, others have picked up several oblique references to Chaplin's life in Nabokov's book. Bill Delaney notes that at the end Lolita and her husband move to the fictional Alaskan town of "Gray Star" while Chaplin's <a href="/wiki/The_Gold_Rush" title="The Gold Rush">The Gold Rush</a>, set in Alaska, was originally set to star Lita Grey. Lolita's first sexual encounter was with a boy named Charlie Holmes, whom Humbert describes as "the silent ... but indefatigable Charlie". Chaplin had an artist paint Lita Grey in imitation of <a href="/wiki/Joshua_Reynolds" title="Joshua Reynolds">Joshua Reynolds</a>'s painting <a href="/wiki/The_Age_of_Innocence_(painting)" title="The Age of Innocence (painting)">The Age of Innocence</a>. When Humbert visits Lolita in a class at her school, he notes a print of the same painting in the classroom. Delaney's article notes many other parallels as well.<a href="#cite_note-73">[71]</a> The foreword refers to "the monumental decision rendered December 6, 1933 by Hon. <a href="/wiki/John_M._Woolsey" title="John M.

One Book Called Ulysses">United States v. One Book Called Ulysses</a>, in which Woolsey ruled that Joyce's <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_(novel)" title="Ulysses (novel)">Ulysses</a> was not obscene and could be sold in the United States. In chapter 29 of Part Two, Humbert comments that Lolita looks "like Botticelli's russet Venus—the same soft nose, the same blurred beauty," referencing <a href="/wiki/Sandro_Botticelli" title="Sandro Botticelli">Sandro Botticelli</a>'s depiction of <a href="/wiki/Venus_(mythology)" title="Venus (mythology)">Venus</a> in, perhaps, <a href="/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus" title="The Birth of Venus">The Birth of Venus</a> or <a href="/wiki/Venus_and_Mars_(Botticelli)" title="Venus and Mars (Botticelli)">Venus and Mars</a>. In chapter 35 of Part Two, Humbert's "<a href="/wiki/Death_sentence" class="mw-redirect" title="Death sentence">death sentence</a>" on Quilty parodies the rhythm and use of <a href="/wiki/Anaphora_(rhetoric)" title="Anaphora (rhetoric)">anaphora</a> in <a href="/wiki/T._S._Eliot" title="T.
