I decided to use the psychoanalytical lens while reading Lolita in order to analyze the thoughts and motives behind Humbert Humbert. Previous experience with this lens could include many of the other projects that were done in AP English Literature class when analyzing other characters motives, more specifically in the Drama Interpretation project, when my group questioned the sociopathic behavior of Iago in Othello. My personal beliefs when it comes to analyzing characters is that everyone will think they're not a bad person. Everyone will have their reasons behind their actions and believe those reasons justify those actions, which is why they do them. Another lens I considered was the Modernism lens, because the I wanted to analyze his actions from society's take on the limitations of love and how history and different cultures affected the normality of relationships with a big age gap. What I am hoping to get out of this project is learning how to analyze characters from an unbiased point of view.
