Re: Just to make you all know...
Exactly. I wouldn't have liked her when I was twelve, either. I'm sure that Nabokov made her that way on purpose, precisely to evoke reactions like mine. I know intellectually that Humbert was wrong and perverted and that Lolita was a victim, yet because he genuinely loved her, and because he was an intelligent and sensitive man, and because she was the way she was, on an emotional level I feel sorry for him and dislike her. I'm sure that Nabokov wanted to evoke these conflicting feelings in most readers, and not have it be a black-and-white, simple good vs. evil story.
