Text: Lolita Vladimir Nabokov
Critical Lens: Psychoanalytical
By having the opportunity to read Lolita, I was able to learn how to look at text through different text. I learned what to look for when being able to read through the psychoanalytical lens. By reading the novel through this specific lens, I was able to find the how the Humbert was able to view society and what he thought about him being attracted to young girls. If I would have read this novel through a different lens, I would have ended with a different perspective towards Humbert some of the things that I would have missed would be how his actions were viewed by society. By being able to read through the lens that I did, I was able to interpret how the unconscious of the author and Humbert was. In general my beliefs did not change because of this book, I still believe that pedophilia is wrong no matter what kind of history that person had. Through this novel I was able to learn that I stick to my beliefs even though this book was against the theories of Freud.
