The 4 stars is only to the talent all the people involved and not the theme of the Novel itself.
The writer being very well aware of the predatory and pedophillc tendencies of men portrayed the protagonist in such a way that his writing almost normalised this behaviour.
I understand how over glorified men have been in society in those times which is why today we have cases like Epstein, Trump, Diddy, JayZ, Ashton Kutcher and … all the “smooth operators”
Well the entire 1% of society.
I loved how Humbert (the pedo) calls himself a nympho in such a subtle way like as if it was a normal thing to be.
Anyway! This is a reality of today’s society and can be traced back in the past. Marrying girls as young as 6-7 like in case of Prophet Mohammad..
Sadly it’s everywhere!
