Nabokov, 40 years on: 13 things you probably didn’t know about the Lolita novelist

Find out how to pronounce Nabokov’s name correctly, what he thinks of Freud, and why you should revisit his works again and again

Quick question! So I usually look through the activity section to block people, a blog follows me that concerns me so much! I didn’t go further then the header & a little bit of the top 1st post. They’re little girls & it creeped me out soooo much. I just feel like it’s those blogs that post pictures of little kids cause they’re pedos.

With blogs like this do I report it outside of tumblr, just to tumblr or both?

“I wish someone would notice the tender description of [Lolita’s] helplessness, her pathetic dependence on the monstrous Humbert Humbert , and her heartrending courage all along, culminating in that squalid but essentially pure and healthy marriage, and her letter, and her dog. And that terrible expression on her face when she had been cheated by Humbert Humbert out of some little pleasure that had been promised. They all miss the fact that ‘the horrid little brat’ Lolita is essentially very good indeed—or she would not have straightened out after being crushed so terribly, and found a decent life with poor Dick more to her liking than the other kind.”

— By Vera Nabokov

lolita remake but from dolores point of view. the rapes, the death of her mother, being controlled by humbert, not being able to make friends, the emotional and physical abuse, being forced to do porn by quilty, the teenage pregnancy, the trauma and finally dying in childbirth.

lolita but as what it really is: a horror story

Leaving Briceland. Loquacious Lo was silent. Cold spiders of panic crawled down my back. This was an orphan. This was a lone child, an absolute waif, with whom a heavy-limbed, foul-smelling adult had had strenuous intercourse three times that very morning. Whether or not the realization of a lifelong dream had surpassed all expectation, it had, in a sense, overshot its mark — and plunged into a nightmare. I had been careless, stupid, and ignoble. And let me be quite frank: somewhere at the bottom of that dark turmoil I felt the writhing of desire again, so monstrous was my appetite for that miserable nymphet.  Mingled with the pangs of guilt was the agonizing through that her mood might prevent me from making love to her again as soon as I found a nice country road where to park in peace. In other words, poor Humbert Humbert was dreadfully unhappy, and while steadily and inanely driving toward Lepingville, he kept racking his brains for some quip, under the bright wing of which he might dare turn to his seatmate.  It was she, however, who broke the silence: “Oh, a squashed squirrel,” she said. “What a shame.”

what's your take on the representation of women in lolita?

From the top of my head the representation wasn’t spectacular, I would say it was meh.

Rita - She was a careless alcoholic. Didn’t really care for her parts.

Valeria - Mrs.Cheating Valeria lol, well she was alright. Sucks that she had to put up with H.H. at least she left him! 

Jean - She didn’t have a big part but she seemed nice. 

Vivian - Girl hangs out with a known child predator. Next.

Charlotte - Didn’t like her at all, She lacks being a mother and it disappoints me so much. The thing that always pissed me off about her was when she found out about H.H. pedophilia. Instead of wanting to sending Lo away because she wants to protect her she wants to do it because she’s jealous. I wish Charlotte didn’t die though. I feel like her presence was the reason why H.H. didn’t take advantage of Lo early on. In the end Lo loved her and I wish she saw that, r.i.p. girl.

I wish there was at least one character that represented women in a good way. 

What about y’all ?

Couple of inches taller. Pink-rimmed glasses. New, heaped-up hairdo, new ears. How simple! The moment, the death I had kept conjuring up for three years was as simple as a bit of dry wood. She was frankly and hugely pregnant. Her head looked smaller (only two seconds had passed really, but let me give them as much wooden duration as life can stand), and her pale-freckled cheeks were hollowed, and her bare shins and arms had lost all their tan, so that the little hairs showed. She wore a brown, sleeveless cotton dress and sloppy felt slippers. “We — e — ell!” she exhaled after a pause with all the emphasis of wonder and welcome. “Husband at home?” I croaked, fist in pocket. I could not kill her, of course, as some have thought. You see, I loved her. It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.

Nabokov: My Most Difficult Book - The Story of ‘Lolita’ (1989)

[dolly--schiller]

Dolores Haze was a rape victim. She was 12. Her serial rapist, a middle-aged literature professor named Humbert Humbert, gave his step-daughter a pet name. You probably know it — Lolita. In Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 novel, even Dolores’ rapist, in his rare moments of honesty, recognized the pain he caused. She “sobs in the night — every night,” Humbert admits. Yet, within a few years of the novel’s publication, another crime was committed against the fictional character of Dolores, and worse, to millions of real-life sexual abuse victims. Uncomfortable with Dolores the rape victim, our culture turned her into Lolita the symbol of temptation, a “precociously seductive girl” luring men into her bed.
