How in the world did you get that Lolita was a justification of pedophilia??? Humbert is a deluded and unreliable narrator and you're supposed to be disgusted by him, that's not an endorsement of pedophilia. Nabokov was likely a survivor himself.

I did read your comments... Humbert being an unreliable narrator was established in the first chapter, when he says he's writing to the jury... But fair enough, my bad.
