| Through examining Humbert Humbert’s psychological defense mechanisms in Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, this essay aims to analyze Humbert Humbert’s sexuality through the framework of psychoanalytic theory by demonstrating how Humbert Humbert’s abuse is employed as a psychological defense to process his sexuality. By analyzing his abusive actions, the results suggest that the reason for Humbert Humbert’s psychological defense is caused by his fear of abandonment that has been a constant issue throughout the novel, both physically and emotionally. This essay shows that the inconsistency of Humbert Humbert’s abusive behavior further indicates his denial and separation of self, contributing to his sexually abusive behavior. | sv | |
