Lolita Kelly's Post

Since our presentation i have continued to look into theme's surrounding controversy. My first experience of Lolita was by Vladimir Nabokov through over cover story module as this has been produced as a Penguin Modern Classic, quote from www.penguinclassics.co.uk,

                  'Humbert Humbert - scholar, aesthete and romantic - has fallen completely and utterly in love with Lolita Haze, his       landlady's gum-snapping, silky skinned twelve-year-old daughter. Reluctantly agreeing to marry Mrs Haze just to be close to Lolita, Humbert suffers greatly in the pursuit of romance; but when Lo herself starts looking for attention elsewhere, he will carry her off on a desperate cross-country misadventure, all in the name of Love. Hilarious, flamboyant, heart-breaking and full of ingenious word play, Lolita is an immaculate, unforgettable masterpiece of obsession, delusion and lust.'

                                          

Lolita has also been described as a 'prepubescent or adolescent girl who is attractive and sexually responsive, she lusts after older men and is lusted by them in return.    

Lolita is also a Japanese fashion trend that tries to capture the innocence of youth and nostalgia for the 19th century several types of lolita, Gothic lolita, sweet lolita and classic lolita.
