While incarcerated, he discovers that Lolita died during childbirth and eventually dies. also away due to heart failure.4) Lolita is unique. There is absolutely no book I have ever read in my life that can compare with such wonderful, complex diction. In Lolita, Vladimir lists rhymes, allusions, metaphors, anything and everything to disguise actions that his readers might find obscene and repugnant for not being completely frank and direct. While reading the book, I felt like a juror, like it was my decision whether to let this man go free, be accused of rape, or convict him of murder and rape. Even though I started to feel sympathy for Humbert at times, I always remembered how manipulative he was towards certain characters from start to finish and wondered if he was doing the same to me..
