I've never been able to make it through a reading without flinging the book at a wall. (however, I think part of it was part of the mentality at the time, there's a scene in war and peace where a45 year old man is chasing around a 12 year old girl he's getting ready to marry and it's considered pretty normal.). Anyways, yay for belly button weather! katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631786849974735563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554809704589605942.post-79863282176709601142014-04-19T09:07:45.202-07:002014-04-19T09:07:45.202-07:00I agree with you completely!

"Lolita" is mesmerizingly written, gorgeously paced etc etc. But in the end, it wraps up pedophilia in a beautiful package and presents it to the world as an odd but beautiful thing. I don't know that this was really Nabokov's intention, but it was the result. Humbert's actions are not really seen as abuse but as love. Any real disparagement gets heaped on the child in this unequal relationship. People commonly will label a young sexually precocious (or prematurely sexualized) girl as a "Lolita" for instance. Is there an equivalent term (a kind of humorously descriptive put-down) for a similar boy? Well, I'll stop now. Anyway, I love love love your outfit! <br />Nancy Bea Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833697697334243593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554809704589605942.post-24077274571105265122014-04-18T12:05:30.693-07:002014-04-18T12:05:30.693-07:00I love the top!
