Is Humbert Humbert the narrator and main character in the confessional or anti-confessional narration?
“Lolita” is a first-person confessional narrative, composed in a jail on the verge of a fatal “coronary thrombosis” (L3) that is heart failure by Humbert Humbert, an intelligent European immigrant. Humbert’s story is prefaced by a Foreword written by John Ray Ph.D, who introduces himself as the editor of the manuscript.
