Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes how the use of language in "Lolita" is meant to change the reader's perception of the protagonist's actions.

From the Paper:

"In his novel, Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov writes of a man, Humbert Humbert, plagued by his uncontrollable desire for the love of nymphets. Humbert acknowledges how those reading his accounts will judge them as amoral and wrong, so he attempts to use language, the descriptive analysis of events and people, to create a bond between himself and the reader."
