The first time I saw Lolita, I only knew it was lolita fashion's fluffy princess dress. Knowing Lolita again means a lovely little girl.
Let me briefly talk about Lolita's background. Lolita is a novel by Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov. When Vladimir Nabokov wrote this work, the real life in the United States provided a living case for her to describe Lolita's bold behavior of living with an adult man. In the process of creation, Nabokov paid special attention to news reports about accidents, sexual crimes and murders, recorded the general situation of some cases, and even introduced Lolita almost intact. Among them, there is a case of "Ji Edward Grama murdered his wife". After meeting pregnant Lolita, humbert revisited Ramsdale by bus and suddenly inserted a description of the case when passing by Charlotte Hai Zi's cemetery. All these are living social realities in America. Nabokov collected these "materials", arranged them skillfully and transplanted them into Lolita. [ 1]
This novel was originally not allowed to be published in the United States, and was first published by Olympia Publishing House in Paris, Europe on 1955. The American version was finally published on 1958, and the work soared to the first place in the best-seller list of The New York Times. 1962, Lolita has been adapted into a movie. [2]
Most of the books are confessions of death row prisoner humbert, telling the love story of a middle-aged man and an underage girl. Of course, from humbert's point of view, this is a love story between a middle-aged man and an underage girl.
But as a woman or an adult, this is a perverted story of a middle-aged man seducing an underage girl.
Content introduction:
The novel describes the first love between Heng humbert, a middle-aged man who immigrated from France to the United States, and Annabel, a girl of 14 years old. Finally, Annabel died of typhoid fever, creating a pedophile in humbert. He defined "leprechaun" as "nine to fourteen years old". Humbert was first abandoned by a rich widow, and later fell in love with Lolita, the landlady 12-year-old daughter, calling her a leprechaun.
Due to the shadow of childhood, humbert could not extricate herself from Lolita. In order to get close to the little girl, humbert married the landlady and became Lolita's stepfather. The original name of the girl in the novel is Dolly Haizi, and the nickname pronounced in Spanish is Lolita or Lo, so it is the title of the novel.
Later, the landlady was very angry when she found out in her husband's diary that her husband was trying to cheat on her daughter, so she wrote three letters (which were later torn up by Heng, but according to the article, the content of the three letters was to express that her wife wanted to leave her husband for a period of time, and she would find a chance to get back together later to show her love for her husband), and she was killed by a car on the way. Humbert took Lolita out of the summer camp and traveled together. He thought that if he drugged Lolita's drink, he could flirt with her unconsciously. As a result, the drug has no effect on Lolita (because it is not really an effective sleeping pill). On the contrary, Lolita took the initiative to tease humbert the next morning and had an incestuous relationship. Humbert then told Lolita that her mother had died, so Lolita had no choice but to accept the fact that she had to live with her stepfather. Humbert took Lolita along the United States as a father and daughter. He used pocket money, beautiful clothes and delicious food to control Lolita and continue to satisfy his desire for her. When Lolita grew up, she began to hate her stepfather. She realized that "even the saddest family life is better than this incest". So she began to associate with boys of the same age and escaped her stepfather through a trip. At first, humbert searched frantically, but finally gave up.
One day three years later, humbert received a letter from Lolita, saying that she was married and pregnant and needed money from her stepfather. Humbert gave her $400 in cash and a check for $3,600, and the buyer paid $65,438+$00,000 in advance for the house. He asked Lolita to tell him who kidnapped her at that time. Lolita told him that it was Quidditch, the playwright of the school performance, and told him that after she left with Quidditch, Quidditch kicked her out because she refused Quidditch's request to let her shoot pornographic movies with other boys. Humbert asked Lolita to leave her husband and go with him, but she was rejected, and humbert was heartbroken. He tracked down and shot Quidditch. In the end, humbert died of thrombosis in prison, while Lolita, 17 years old, died of dystocia at Christmas 1952. [3]
The whole story of Lolita is from the perspective of humbert, so we can see that he is constantly beautifying himself and telling how Lolita seduced humbert prematurely and loved Lolita more. But I really want to know/kloc-what do girls aged 0/2 know? Humbert just used her little girl's rebellion to cover up her unusual cruelty. Lolita took her to travel when her mother died, but she wanted to go to an unknown place and seduce her. Humbertelli used her custody of Lolita. After her mother died, Lolita accepted the fact that she had to live with her stepfather without any help or choice, and kept an incestuous relationship with humbert in ignorance. So when Lolita grew up, she realized that "even the saddest family life is better than this incest" and chose to escape. Therefore, this is not a so-called love story between a middle-aged man and an underage girl, but a tragic story in which an underage girl is seduced by a middle-aged man and satisfies her animal desires for a long time.
