What I'm going to study for the test. I have no idea what is going to be on the test but I hope that by making this post it will help me memorize the stuff that I think is important.

• Madeline Lolita=Pseudolucia Humbert
• The style of Lolita is similar to that of a chess game. It is more about the movement of the pieces on the board. The most important figure is the queen. This is related to Mick's presentation and he told us that Lolita doesn't start out as a queen but is a pawn. By moving to the back row of the other player's board (I'm not actually sure if these are the logistics of that happens) she then becomes a queen
• The seven aspects of what happens in Nebukov: parody, coincidence, patterning, allusion, a work within the work, staging of the novel, authorial voice
• Other authors with an obsession for young girls: Poe, Carroll, Dickens (he collected litte red riding hood stories)
• Nymphet- an immature but sexually attractive girl, attractive to a certain type of man. She is 9-14 years old. Nonhuman.
