Line 4:
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Humbert Humbert and a lot of the other characters get a lot of these, especially in the derivative works.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Part 1, chapter 8; how Humbert's marriage with Valeria ends.
* [[Death of the Author]]: As you can see by [[Misaimed Fandom]], that is pretty common. It helps the book is entirely written from Humbert's point-of-view, and in that way the book is basically designated for debate.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** The term nymphet became integrated in several languages as "seductive, petite young woman", not even necessarily on Dolores' age range, thanks to this book. This also resulted in a common misunderstanding that the nymphs of [[Greek Mythology]] were all seductive, when they were nothing more than natural entities not able to seduce any more than a beautiful, young, human female could.
** The word loli, that derivates from the title, and everything eventually derivates from it (like the [[Lolicon]] sub-genre and [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] fashion), have their existence to be thanked to Nabokov. Just like the term nymphet, of course, it doesn't always refer to younger teenagers, specifically.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]/[[Paranoia Fuel]]: Are you a parent with teen/tween? If you are, you will have nightmares about them being abused.
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Vladimir Nabokov hoped his readers were [[Viewers Are Geniuses|smart enough]] to see through all of Humbert's attempts at gaining sympathy, and realize what a sick and twisted man he is. Not all of them were. Some people actually ''sympathize'' with Humbert. As quoted by another writer, Lolita is "not the corruption of an innocent child by a cunning adult, but the exploitation of a weak adult by a corrupt child".
