Lolita is a book that tells the story of Humbert Humbert a man who is attracted to girls age 9 to 14 who he calls nymphets and about his obsession with a girl named Dolores (Lolita).
I have heard from many people that they think that this story would be a perfect love story if Lolita were not a little girl.
I personally do not think that same way. In some parts of the book we can tell that Lolita is not happy with the situation, that she does not want to be with him, but she has nowhere else to go so she just does anything. Also the obsession that Humbert has is not normal. He just likes the girls because of their age, not because he has any other connection with them, what he thinks is love is not, is an obsession.
Even thou I think different to other people I do understand why they would think that it would be a perfect love story, because when you read the book Humbert who is the one who is talking in the book sounds like a very educated, interesting person so I guess it would be difficult to imagine him doing what he did and having this obsession with little girls.
