	Lolita
		To describe Lolita and other alluring young girls, Humbert coins the word "nymphet." The word has two derivations: the first from the Greek and Roman nature spirits, who were usually pictured as beautiful maidens dwelling in mountains, waters, and forests; the second from the entomologist's term for the young of an insect undergoing incomplete metamorphosis.
		Before Lolita begins her affair with Clare Quilty, her mother mentions his uncle Ivor, the town dentist, and sends Lolita to summer at Camp Q (near the propitiously named Lake Climax).
		This resemblance is one of the reasons that Lolita finds her mother's boarder attractive, and we are reminded of it later on when Humbert believes for a brief time that Quilty may be his uncle Trapp.

		Lolita does not die because she was involved with Humbert but the view of many readers will be that she dies as a consequence of her relationship with Humbert as well as her involvement with Quilty.
		Lolita begins to show conscious use of nymphic abilities in the way she submits to engaging in sexual acts with Humbert in the hotel.
		Lolita here is shown to be the love object side of a nymph as Humbert begins to see signs of her destructive side.

	Orca Network Lolita/Captivity Page
		Lolita, first called Tokitae, is the last surviving orca of 45 members of the Southern Resident community that were captured and delivered for display in marine parks between 1965 and 1973.
		Lolita remains a member of her family of birth, the Southern Resident orca community, as demonstrated by her vocalizations that are identical with those her family uses today.
		Lolita could be safely returned to her home waters, but objections to her return by the park's owner, apparently based on economic interest and a set of unfounded beliefs often heard from display industry employees, has so far prevented her return.

	Lolita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lolita maintains that she did not want to be in the films, but merely wanted to be near the man she loved-- Quilty.
		Nabokov's Lolita is far from an endorsement of pedophilia, since it dramatizes the tragic consequences of Humbert's obsession with the young heroine.
		Lolita has been filmed twice: the first adaptation was made in 1962 by Stanley Kubrick, and starred James Mason, Shelley Winters, Peter Sellers and, as Lolita, Sue Lyon; and a second adaptation in 1997 by Adrian Lyne, starring Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain, and Melanie Griffith.

	Stanley Kubrick's Lolita
		Though Kubrick was living in California and New York in the early 60s, Lolita was shot at ABPC studios in England partly because of anticipated censorship problems and mainly because of being able to raise financing there.
		The main change from the novel was in moving the final confrontation between Humbert and Quilty to the beginning of the film and having the events leading up to it told as a flashback.
		Lolita's Humbert Humbert, played by James Mason, might have been played by Errol Flynn, who reportedly had negotiated to star in the film.

	Lolita
		'Lolita', the now word, is a term used to describe a certain type of young woman-usually a teenage girl with precocious sexual drive that proves ruinous to the life of a sinful older man. The word (often lower-cased to 'lolita') connotes badness for both sexes, but it is especially demeaning to women.
		He is only too ashamed of himself when he entices Lolita into the plush hotel, repeating to himself that if he had any sense at all he would immediately "leave this place, this country, this planet." His contrition and his guilt do not help to free him from his bondage, though.
		He and Lolita, after the early death of Charlotte, drive around the country aimlessly, she acceding to his demands and wishes (for the most part), he becoming more insatiable and debased, having to purchase her services to keep her his.

	Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
		"Lolita, in the context of the reception it has been given, remains nevertheless a savage indictment of an age that can see itself epitomized in such horror and run to fawn upon the horror as beauty, delicacy, understanding.
		Lolita, light of so many lives, fire of so many loins, has become so much more than merely the book Nabokov wrote.
		The story of the young nymphet, Dolores (Lolita) Haze, and her seducer, Humbert Humbert, lives beyond the confines of the novel.

		Lolita, in a nutshell, is simply the best piece of prose in the English language.
		In fact the plot for Lolita is exactly the same as that for practically all his books - intelligence, wit or poetic brilliance mask depravity and insanity.
		The Annotated Lolita is also an excellent book, Alfred Appel has done a wonderful job of annotating the text and his introduction to the book is first rate.

	CNN - Nabokov - Lolita's Impact
		Although Lolita's first printing of 5,000 copies sold out, there were no notable reviews, and the book would likely have gone unnoticed for some time had not respected author and critic Graham Greene, in an interview published in the London Times, called it one of the best books of the year.
		Alerted to the controversy, American officials initially withheld two copies of Lolita, but the U.S. Customs Bureau soon released the confiscated copies to their owners, an act that effectively authorized publication of the novel in the United States.
		A cynic might add that "Lolita" is a complex and often tricky book, and that only the most fanatical Philistine, intent on ferreting out every incidence of filth, was likely to read it to the end.

	the poerotic novel
		Lolita is perhaps one of the most disturbing novels in this century: it tells the a priori immoral story of a middle-aged man who falls madly in love with a twelve-year-old girl, a nymphet as he calls her, and who has sexual relations with her for two years.
		Lolita is no longer a vulgar little flirt but the archetypal seductress and temptress, Eve in the Garden of Eden.
		The apple serves as a prop in a first erotic exchange: Lolita tosses it up as if she were juggling with it, he catches it, and she begs him to give it back: “I produced Delicious.

	Lolita (1962 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lolita is a 1962 influential film by Stanley Kubrick based on the classic novel of the same title by Vladimir Nabokov.
		Lolita was filmed again in 1997 (see article), an attempt to avoid some of the perceived mistakes of the 1962 version.

	Lolita (1962)
		Lolita (1962) was Stanley Kubrick's sixth film - a brilliant, sly adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's celebrated yet controversially-infamous 1955 novel of a middle-aged man's unusual, doomed sexual passion/obsession for a precocious, seductive "nymphet" girl.
		The fl humor and dramatic story of juvenile temptation and perverse, late-flowering lust was centered on a pubescent nymphet and a mature literature professor in an aura of incest.
		The plot of the filmed version of Lolita transposes the events in the epilogue of the novel (a bizarre death scene) to the prologue.

		Lolitas do not carry toys; instead they dress in clothes that are simultaneously childlike (pinafores and somewhat formless dresses such as a young girl of an earlier era might wear, quite often in rather subdued colors or pastels) and elegant in their delicate attention to detail.
		Lolita is diminished and resignified by creating a new spelling for the word in Japanese.
		Others see Lolita fashion as merely a way to get noticed: “‘Dressing up like this and having people stare at them makes them feel their existence is worth something,’ says Yo Yahata, a clinical psychologist who has done case studies and written articles about aspects of Lolita culture” (Parker).

	Lolita fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lolita fashion (ロリータ・ファッション) is part of the fashion style and subculture Gothic and Lolita, which originated in Japan, largely inspired by Victorian children's clothing and the elaborate costumes of the Rococo period.
		Stereotypical Gothic Lolita, in a fl and white Maid-style clothing and Alice in Wonderland-style aprons are often mistakenly given the label of Classic Lolita.
		Wa Lolita (or abbreviated as waloli) is the combination of traditional Japanese clothing and Lolita fashion and usually consists of yukata (sometimes kimono) and a skirt or the bottom half of the garment is altered to mimic the typical lolita style.

		Simon Karlinsky once declared that the publication of Lolita in America and England signaled the final "collapse of the Victorian moralistic censorship that had persisted in Western countries till the end of the 1950's"(Iannone 54).
		Nabokov calls the "philistine vulgarity of the American scene," which he finds "exhilarating." What happens to Lolita blends into and is not of a different order from the middle-class squalor of endless motels and juke boxes.
		Lolita had caused a sensation, but it had never been scandalous front-page international news, and Dr. Zhivago quickly vaulted to the top of the best-seller list even before the campaign of orchestrated abuse, the Nabokovs had been convinced that the whole history of Zhivago' was a Soviet plot.

		His manipulative behaviour with Lolita was nauseating, and he acknowledges that Lolita has "absolutely nowhere else to go." Humbert keeps it that way--and turns Lolita into his personal prostitute.
		The chief attraction of "Lolita" is not the encounters between Humbert and Lolita, but rather the author's amazing command of language and power of description, which is focused primarily on Humbert's feverish obsession and constant frustration.
		Lolita is the least fleshed-out character in the book, and it's obvious the author has no idea what it's like to be a 12-year-old girl.

		This seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures.

		The music of Lolita is based upon a characteristic approach to different musical trends, an exploration resulting in a composite synthesis where every member of the band has its clearly defined role.
		Lolita is one of the rare musical ensembles from around, whose decision to improvise isn't just a fling or a detached step away- but it is literally a cultural political gesture, an implication of their own history, a sharp self portrait pointing to the always fading memory that music should never be caught by anybody.
		Lolita, as the name of the band suggests, is not to be tamed and she has her own wayward ways.
