	Humbert Humbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humbert Humbert is the adopted pseudonym of the main character and unreliable narrator of the 1955 novel Lolita, by Russian-born American novelist Vladimir Nabokov.

		Humbert Humbert has been portrayed on film by James Mason in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 movie adaptation of the novel, and by Jeremy Irons in Adrian Lyne's 1998 film.

		Plot Outline: Humbert Humbert, a British professor coming to the US to teach, rents a room in Charlotte Haze's house, but only after he sees her 14-year-old daughter, Dolores (Lolita), to whom he is immediately attracted.
		Humbert: The shock of her death froze something in me. The child I loved was gone, but I kept looking for her - long after I had left my own childhood behind.
		Humbert himself: For the first time, we see the reason for his obsession, and it isn't entirely pedophilia, as in the case of Quilty.

	Childhood of Humbert Humbert
		Humbert lived around the Hotel Mirana, which Humbert describes as “a kind of private universe, a whitewashed cosmos within the blue greater one that blazed outside.” Inside and outside of the hotel, Humbert experiences a pretty nice life.
		Humbert writes of his father who sleeps with Humbert’s aunt (who was also his father’s cousin’s wife), and doesn’t even love the woman.
		Specifically, Humbert writes, “ he had lightheartedly taken advantage of it (Humbert's aunt’s love for his father) one rainy day and forgotten about it by the time the weather cleared.” It can be argued that Humpert was far too young to know of the ways of good sex.

		Humbert II, nicknamed the King of May, was born the Prince of Piedmont.
		He was a playboy of 'peculiar tastes' (in the words of one royal website) or had an 'inability to distinguish between the sexes' (as another royal biographer put it - a coded reference to the former king's rumored homosexuality).
		When it was revealed that the exiled king was terminally ill, President Sandro Pertini, who as a young republican firebrand had played a leading role on the republican side in campaigning against the monarchy and Humbert, urged the Italian Parliament to amend the constitution to let the King return to die in his homeland.

		Humbert Humbert (James Mason) enters, picks his way around, strokes the harp, and circles to the large inner room.
		Humbert is hurt and outraged by Quilty's vapid, erratic, uncaring answer and he pulls out a gun.
		A sardonic Humbert is polite to her, but he detests her vacuous, trying-hard-to-impress chatter, cheap intellectualism, and 'artist' name-dropping, and at one point walks out of the frame of view.

	Untitled Document
		While Humbert nurses suspicions that they are being followed, Lolita falls ill; Humbert takes her to hospital, from where she is mysteriously discharged in the company of her 'uncle'.
		But this lack is hardly noticeable on the screen, given the preoccupation with Humbert's broader predicament: his need to establish a kind of normalcy to his exotic passion, and hence the way he is both tortured by and driven to merge with a multiplicity of mundane situations.
		In his haunting of Humbert, he both realises the latter's fears of discovery by the guardians of decency - playing policeman, psychologist and school counsellor - and mocks his efforts to pass off his liaison with Lolita as a 'normal' family matter.

	Vladimir Nabokov Centennial \| Martin Amis on Lolita
		Now Humbert is of course very cruel to Lolita, not just in the ruthless sine qua non of her subjugation, nor yet in his sighing intention of 'somehow' getting rid of her when her brief optimum has elapsed, nor yet in his fastidious observation of signs of wear in his 'frigid' and 'ageing mistress'.
		Humbert is surpassingly cruel in using Lolita for the play of his wit and the play of his prose--his prose, which sometimes resembles the 'sweat-drenched finery' that 'a brute of forty' may casually and legally shed (in both hemispheres, as a scandalized Humbert notes) before thrusting 'himself up to the hilt into his youthful bride'.
		And whatever it is that is wrong with Humbert, not even his short-lived mother--'(picnic, lightning)'--would claim that her son was playing with a full deck.

	Idiocentrism
		Nabokov was careful to dissociate himself from Humbert, and he made sure that Humbert died miserably, but I doubt that he found him shocking in the same way that most of his American readers did.
		As for the purity of childhood, however, she was already not a virgin when Humbert seduced her, having done a bit of experimentation the summer before with the boy at the lake.
		In Lolita, Humbert Humbert points out that the age of consent for girls in Roman law, Church law, and American law has been as low as twelve, and seldom higher than fifteen – but only within marriage, and with the consent of the parents.

		Humbert Humbert is a European intellectual adrift in America, haunted by memories of a lost adolescent love.
		As everybody knows, it is the story of Humbert Humbert, a full-grown, adult male--not an old man--who seduces a compliant twelve-year old girl, and then goes on to have a year or so long "affair" with her.
		Vain, selfish Humbert is a despicable character and at no point did I feel one iota of sympathy for the man. His ability to focus solely on his destructive, obsessive needs is chilling.

		Trivia: James Mason was the first choice of director Stanley Kubrick and producer James B. Harris for the role of Humbert Humbert, but he initially declined due to a Broadway engagement.
		This is not to say that James Mason (Humbert Humbert) and Sue Lyon (Dolores "Lolita" Hayes) are not highly believable in their parts.
		As for Mason and Lyon, their scenes together are at the least a little overtly melodramatic (which might have been the idea, it may take another few viewings to really grasp the weight of their performances) and at best helps define what the film is about.

		Lolita's glamour magazines, tiny skirts, teeth braces, chewing gum and toe nails are among many details that become the unforgettable object of Humbert's lingering glance.
		It is ironic that this adaptation of Nabokov's intense satire on American consumerism is directed by Lyne, who began his career making commercials, and though set in the 1940s' Coca Cola and Mobil signs figure prominently at some points.

		The story follows a stuffy English professor, Humbert Humbert (James Mason), who finds himself in the quiet state of New Hampshire, living with the Haze family.
		It would probably help to know that Dolores is the 12 year-old Lolita in the title, and Humbert has an uncontrollable infatuation for her.
		He immediately moves in, marries Charlotte, and through a series of unimaginable circumstances, becomes the sole parental figure in Lolita's life (which doesn't necessarily keep him from consummating his love for the young girl).
