The novel reflects on obsession, and how putting one's own desires over the needs of others can lead to committing cruelty and ignoring the harm. It offers a glimpse into the mind of a predator. Someone learned and attractive that uses these positive qualities to get by in society that would rebuke his actions and desires. He deploys tactics to blame the victim, justify himself by psychology or interpretation of the law, and compare himself to historic examples that are deemed valorous.
The title reflects how Humbert Humbert imposes his wishes, desires, and imagined world on his victim, who is called that name by no one else and comes to resent it. She resists and decries his advances, even as she struggles to navigate the world as a victim of childhood sexual assault (from multiple people). While the protagonist may attempt to excuse his actions, even his own narration condemns himself.
