Soooo I finished Lolita, and I gotta say… it's easily a 7 or 8 out of 10 (it emotionally fucked me up), buuuuut I don't understand how people can possibly misconstrue this book. Humbert Humbert was an egotistical, manipulative asshole, and I just don't understand how he can draw in real life people with just some fancy words. Apparently people have to constantly remind themselves that he's a pedophile/rapist. I, alternatively, had to constantly remind myself that he's supposed to be charming. Literally everything he said was just to cover up what he did with pretty wording and dry wit… Am… Am I reading this right? Like did I didn't miss anything right?
ALSO, I was really not prepared for Lolitas ending. It kinda messed me up. Anybody got anything to say that'll cheer me up?
