However, it is a love gone wrong, a love tainted with obsession. Humpert loves an idea and loves nothing else. He is mad and his love is an obsessive kind that
drives all the major characters towards dismay endings. Thus Lolita is
perhaps also a warning on the dangers of unjust love, the power of love,
and the often indiscernible differences between love and obsession. Lost
must be giving, and Humpert is always taking. He cannot truly have loved
Lolita for he wanted to put her to sleep and kill her mom to achieve his
goals. But his desire for the girl is something more than ordinary and can
be construed as love, and even the product of a previous...

Humpert therefore is a character who is caught the middle of madness, love, obsession, and a twisted perspective on life. But because
his love is false, it does not make Lolita something other than a love
story. Even at times when Humpert finds love with Lolita, it does last and
his obsessive nature means he always unfulfilled until the very end.
