In my opinion, about Humbert and Lolita are a lot of things to discuss. From the begining of this book, we could find that Humbert had like am obsession for young girls, which he calls 'nimphets' and maybe thia obsession turns into love for Lolita. Reading this book, I was very shocked, because I considered that Humbert distroyed Lolita's childhood, because she was very young when they met. In the end of the book, I could figure out that Humbert really loved Lolita, that's why he asked Lolita to abandon her husband and go with him, despite the fact that she was pregnant.

1. I would say that their relationship was a strange one. Firstly, she forgot about the fact that he is a pedophile, and liked him. But Humbert had a very strong advantage: his charming personality. In my opinion, he knew how to seduces Lolita. I felt sorry for Lolita, because she was raised by a strange man, a sick man, I think. Even everything was strange between them, their relationship last 3 years. Lolita slept with Humbert, but not just her was seduced. Because I think that also Lolita seduced Humbert, but in a different way, not so strange. Yes, she was young, but she made Humbert fall in love with her.

2. As we all know, Humbert is a pedophile and a murderer. He describes himself : "I was, and still am, despite mes malheurs, an exceptionally handsome male; slow-moving, tall, with soft dark hair and a gloomy but all the more seductive cast of demeanor.". As a character, he's a complicated one, in my opinion. He has mental problem, but he is a good manipulator. His personality is difficult to understand, but the fact that he has mental problems can represent a reason. In fact, I don't blame him for all. Because she tried to seduce, but he also was seduced and a way, he was controlled.

I think that he loved her. Yes, it started like an obsession, but it couldn't be just that. He killed for her! He searched her many years, he makes effort to find her. At one point he said : "I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth." He says us very clear that he loved her. In my point of view, the obsession can't control you and force you do to such things. But when we speak about love and also obsession, we can poză all the things from the world.
