Summary of Lolita
Or prefácio
Or first he told us that we fear the work of Nabokov and through a prefácio where he contacted us that the author gives history Humbert Humbert, died in prison, a few days before July, victim of a thrombosis coronary.
The story would have been composed by the person in prison and the manuscript had been delivered to or advocated by a friend Clarence Choate Clark, who in turn was handed over to a publisher.
O responsible for the guarantor text, not so much, that nothing is done except for small alterations:
Except for certain corrections of obvious solecisms and careful suppression of some obstinate details that, despite the efforts of H. H., still subsistiam not its text, quais frames and tumular stones (denouncers of places or people who delicately command hide the compaixão poupar), except for such corrections and suppressions, this extraordinary autobiography is presented intact.
A presentation of Humbert Humbert
Humbert Humbert is the pseudonym of a 37-year-old French intellectual - professor of literature - who is described as controlling, obsessive, manipulative, egocentric and sarcastic.
It is him who saves or frees, who is a kind of "peça de defense" written for or júri, while he was imprisoned. Da cadeia, Humbert Humbert redirects as an intuition to tell his memories of him and gives his version two fates of the sudden death awakened by a 12-year-old girl.
Lolita, light gives minha life, fire gives minha meat. Minha soul, meu sin. Lo-li-ta: a ponta da lngua plays on three consecutive points of the palato to encostar, not three, nos dentes.
O princípio da historia: a move from Humbert Humbert to America
A European academic immigrates to the United States where he will live in Charlotte Haze's home.
Charlotte has a twelve-year-old filha called Dolores - who will later be called Lolita by Humbert - because of her intellectual loss as well as to see.
Determined to find more close to Lolita, Humbert moves to the garota house and ends up asking his mother for a marriage, becoming, assim, his stepfather.
About Lolita
All or what we know about a menina and told through da olhar de Humbert Humbert, or what face as it was had a partial vision and sent two fates.
Despite the academic stating categorically that he disappeared from the garota, or that we see over the course of two pages and the development of an obsessive and educational relationship.
Through the text we know that his preference for meninas mais novas has existed for some decades. Humbert chooses to "categorize" the garotas that awaken him to the same sensation as Lolita.
Two nine years fourteen years some mocinhas revealed, before certain enfeitiçados travelers, their true nature, that não é human, more ‘nympho’ (isto é, demonic), and I propose to chamar these creatures of nymphetas
For the long-term description of the romance, we ask ourselves: would Lolita be a naive girl or wait? Was he intentionally a seductress or a hypersexualized outsider for the storyteller?
About the relationship between Humbert and Lolita
Or free, written in the first place, contacted by a non-trustworthy narrator, or Humbert Humbert himself, and by isso little or nothing we know from the perspective of menina.
Fazendo use of many metaphors, Humbert is a master as a linguist and achieves, many times, seduces or leitor as a seu point of view of him even though he seems quite doubtful.
Pela manhã, one meter and thirty and two to pick two socks; It was Lo, just Lo. In practical shoes, it was Lola. Na escola, she was Dolly. It was Dolores na linha pontilhada onde her assinava o nome de ella. Mas nos meus braços was always Lolita.
No text we see a relationship that unfolds based on obsession and not play of power. Anyway, Lolita não é uma simple ou rasa work: Humbert Humbert faces a series of paradoxes and morais dilemmas.
Ao long of the work we ask ourselves: a relationship com a menina é, afinal, doentia or a love story?
