The story of Lolita reminds me of how today’s society is when it comes to adults having sexual relations with young adults specifically under 18. Today in our society, it has happened and people condemn things like that. Maybe Humbert felt that it was the norm. Though it was wrong for Humbert to have feelings for Lolita in that way, you can’t help but feel sympathy for him because he wanted to fill that void of extra space with companionship. What was wrong about the whole situation is that he married Charlotte to get to Lolita, which was wrong because she had hoped that he was the man of her dreams. Sadly this was not the case.
Humbert did what he did because he missed Annabel and wanted to recapture that moment in time, when he was thirteen. The only problem is that he waited until he was a lot older and fell in love with a girl the same age as Annabel. It’s a sad ending to a rather unique love story, but received criticism because of its plot. Age is nothing but a number but when it is thirteen, then it becomes wrong whatever way you think of it.
