Please, leave me alone, will you?

My fellow readers, as far as I’m going through the book I’ve founded myself fearing that Humbert and Lolita’s life is no longer an adventure as it all started and it’s getting a bit monotonous. I'd hate to feel bored about them or not like them as much as I used to while I was reading the first chapers. They have finally reached a point where they stopped travelling and found a house to stay and live as a father and a daughter. Lolita is no longer that little girl I remember, that joyful and skillful young lady. Lolita has become a bit annoying and irritating. But she’s not the problem here; Humbert is an obsessive pig that has caused this annoying behavior on Lolita. I believe the real problem behind Lolita’s life is Humbert and I don’t think she really sees it. I believe that Lolita and Humbert’s future is impossible and I’m sure it will terrible. I hate Humbert, I went from liking him and right now I’m just tired of his sick obsession. I wished he could just stop saying the word nymphet and obsessing over Lolita. All I want is Lolita's freedom, that's all I really want right now. I want to know how would she act if things where different. If her mom was alive and she was a better person.

We are lovers, aren't we?

My fellow readers, could it be possible that Humbert’s obsession has become one of mine? I’ve been so obsessed with the book that I’ve even met Lolita and Humbert in my dreams. It was amazing, without a doubt. Lolita! Oh Lolita! Ever since she left to Camp Q she’s been missing. I’ve missed her for the last 7 first chapters I started with. Humbert and Charlotte or as I should call them now, The Humberts were the main attention. Humbert is incredibly stupid sometimes, but that’s what they say about love… it makes you stupid. He agreed to marry Lolita’s mother to be closer to Lolita, I know, a little too much for me. But I understand him, everything was so fast and losing Lolita was way worse than marrying the big Haze woman. I adored how he observed Charlotte and how he compared every move with Lolita’s moves. I must say Humbert is a stupid man, a crazy man, but he is in love and that’s why I understand him. I like that he’s so aficionate and proposed.  But everything falls when Charlotte finds his journal. Now I must say he’s a lucky man, I don’t know how and I don’t know why, but his plan turned more than better with the big Haze out of the picture. 
I must admit I was a bit angry at Humbert, for acting so normal after Charlotte died. But I guess he never cared at all. Lolita on the other hand was part of these chapters right in the final moments. But I've been able to answer my previous questions, Lolita isn't innocent at all. She's special without any doubt. She keeps playing around with Humbert’s feelings and emotions, she changed completely. It’s funny sometimes but it bothers me her childish behavior, but then I wake up and realize: God! She’s a child! And I’m thinking like this because Humbert has made me think of Lolita as she’s a woman. I feel confused because sometimes I want myself wanting this relationship between Humbert and Lolita and I feel bad for him for the way Lolita’s playing around. It’s amazing how I started wanting to talk and to get to know Lolita as if I was her friend, but right now I find myself trying to understand Humbert more than Lolita. Anyways, Lolita has changed. She’s no longer that little nymphet for me, she’s showing me her true colors right now and I’m still arguing with myself If I like them or not.

Light of my life, fire of my loins.


My fellow readers, I am excited to tell you that I’ve finally started reading this marvelous novel. To start off posting I started with chapters 1-8 of the book. Unfortunately Lolita wasn’t there yet, she’s mentioned numerous times but all we can observe is Humbert’s massive obsession and his own personal experience. These few chapters brought some questions to my mind, endless questions. Humbert tells the story about how Lolita wasn’t the first young girl he met and how he called them nymphets. He tells us how he observed the girls in the playground which seems quite terrific even for me, using the quote “Let them play around me forever. Never grow up”. But there’s something about Humbert that just doesn’t fit quite right, a certain “Je ne sais pas”, as he would say. For some of you I’m sure he’ll already be a sick man by now, but I won’t judge him. I think there’s more to know about Humbert than just this background. While I was reading Humbert’s story I couldn’t stop asking myself: Why? Of all the nymphets he mentions, why Lolita? Why was Lolita the one? In a strange way I love how he gets when he speaks of Lolita, he gets jumpy and nervous. I must admit I’m excited and I can’t wait till’ I meet Lolita too. I just have to know why? I must get to understand how Humbert could revive his adolescent lover 20 years later with the wonderful... Beautiful Dolores? 
After few chapters, I’ve met Lolita and she’s not what I expected her to be. Lolita seems to be quite simple and funny. I like how she doesn’t even care about the smallest thing. Lolita just wants to have fun all the time, no matter what. I thought she would’ve been a little more seductive and provocative. But I see her as an innocent girl; I think she doesn’t even imagine what’s going on inside Humbert’s mind. She’s just playing around and being herself. Still, at the last chapter before she leaves to camp she kisses Humbert, was she playing silly all this time? Or is it just something she did out of nowhere? Related to Humbert, I’m in love with his passion. I’m in love with every single word he says when he talks about Lolita. I’ve never heard anything quite like it, but this illusion ends right up when he refers to her as a “Nymphet” and I automatically remember how old is him. I’m eager to see what happens next, I want to know Lolita itself, the beautiful nymphet Humbert talks about. I think in these chapters I’ve met Lo so far.
