We can agree she was asking for it, right?
>>
no
having sex with a women under 25 is rape because their frontal lobe hasn't developed yet
>>
>>25171118
They didn't 'have sex', they made love.
>>
Pretty fucked she acts all high-minded in the end when she's of age and in calf. Really made me hate her more.
>>
>>25171111
That model is clearly of age
>>
>>25171111
Haven't seen the movie but in the book, no. Everything is from Humbert's POV which is shown to be unreliable many times throughout the book.
>>
>>25171111
they're all asking for it
>>
She was BEGGING for it. Only Chads see it
>>

Name 3 times.

The beginning, the middle, the end

I don't know which booktuber gave you your opinion, but I accept your concession.
>>
>>25171168

>>25171111
all women are intrinsically
>>
>>25171203
Lies about mothers death to Lolita, pretends like Lolita is pursuing him, brushes off the dozens of times she cries as her just being moody (even admitting she sobs in the night, every night) and the infamous line "you see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go". Not to mention Nabokov himself describing Humbert as a vain and cruel wretch who appears touching.

I truly don't see how anyone could read this book, cover to cover, and come to the conclusion that Humbert is anything but an unreliable narrator.
>>
>>25171111
There are no villains in Lolita all morally grey, if anything you could argue Lolita is the true villain of the story due to her taking advantage over a sensitive young man like that
>>
>>25171111
This is a pretty sensible take if you've only seen the movie and never actually read the book.
>>
>>25171111
If you look only through the lens of morality, no. If you have been around pubescent young girls in the past, yes.
>>
>>25171370
somebody who reads, on my /lit/? i think you meant to be on /tg/
>>
>>25171284
This. If women didn't want me to have sex with them, then why do they have a warm, wet hole that's the perfect fit for my dick to go inside and turn them into incubators?
>>
why do they keep putting sexualized girls on the cover when nabokov specifically requested publishers to not do that?
>>
>>25172348
>"If people didn't want me to shoot them in the head, why is it such a large target?"
>>
>>25172585
You're starting to get it.
>>
>>25172585
oh my god. center of mass, people. who taught you how to fuckin shoot? xzibit?

>Lies about mothers death to Lolita,
he was trying to protect her
> pretends like Lolita is pursuing him,
"pretends" lol she wanted it
>brushes off the dozens of times she cries as her just being moody (even admitting she sobs in the night, every night)
teenage girls cry, it's what they do
>and the infamous line "you see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go".
she had absolutely nowhere else to go
Humbert did nothing wrong and was an extremely reliable narrator

Are we supposed to believe Lolita is a victim when she runs off with the next old guy billionaire in the very first opportunity?
>>
>>25172722
fucked by 109 old men but it was never her fault
>>
So Lolita was cucking HH the entire time with her uncle or something?
>>
>>25172740
No? Did you read the book?
>>
>>25172747
You did not, she cucked HH with Clare Quilty, she was dropping hints all throughout her journey with Humbert and was explicitly in love with him. Quilty got prime Lolita and he did not have to entrap her. She only left him after he got bored and wanted her to get fucked by other men and even then she speaks fondly of him. Quilty got the best years of her life and her heart.
>>
>>25172778
He got Humberts sloppy seconds, cope faggot.
>>
>>25171111
To an extent yes, but Humbert as the adult still shouldn't have been going on how he did.
>>
>>25172794
>it was wrong because... BECAUSE IT JUST WAS, OK????
not an argument
>>
>>25171118
I love how often this gets parroted by dried up roasties, but the studies it is based on only measured up to the age 25, and the conclusion was basically that brains are never 'fully developed' as neuroplasticity continues throughout life.
>>
I once befriended my HS teacher. In private he told me that nearly all girls in the year hit on him one way or another. We were 14-15.
>>
>>25172600
Yeah ik. It sounds stupid at any rate. They have hole so I must rape
>>
>>25172778
This book is so fucking funny. Getting cucked by another alpha pedophile and turning him into your archenemy just for him to be so cartoonish. Quilty is my favorite character
>>
>>25171118
ackshually... the female brain is fully developed at 18 and for males it's at 30.
>>
>>25171111
she was seventeen years, eleven months, thirty days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds old you sick fuck!
