Humbert / Pedophilia Is A Control Issue
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Building a case that proves pedophiliac compulsions are nothing more than issues of control is an especially clear-cut task with relation to Lolita's Humbert Humbert. While it can be argued that there is a significant connection to Humbert's alleged sexual encounters with his uncle that ultimately led him to seek sexual gratification from young girls, it can also be just as easily proven that he is fully capable of restraining such behavior if he so chooses. The writer addresses the fact that while Humbert's pedophiliac tendencies may have stemmed from his own childhood abuse, it is in no way a defense for inflicting such out of control abuse upon others. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
