This song from 1964 represents the way Humbert looks at Lolita's physical attributes and her sexually appealing qualities. The song says, "Keep that breathless charm, won't you please arrange it." While Humbert tries to act like a normal man, being a pedophile and, he can't help but manipulate her into doing what he pleases.
The song "Why don't You Do Right," written in 1964, is a song I believe that Lolita would sing to Humbert, as the story unfolds of his criminalistic behavior as he was highly abusive to his first wife Valeria, kills Quilty, and claims to be Lolita's biological father. Throughout the novel, we see Humbert prove more and more than he is, in fact, the antagonist.

The evoking appeal this title cover offers unintentionally reveals the plot of the story before it's even told. On the front cover it says, "The only convincing love story of our century," because as we know, every love story isn't picture perfect.

This newsflash article puts an emphasis on the fact that Humbert's main focus of girls is nymphets--talked about in the novel. Particularly, Humbert is attracted to little girls that are from the age 12-14. Often, he tries to cover-up because of his guiltiness that could get him in criminal trouble.
The section in the Article "which shall it be" is a clear view into the battle that Humbert faces with his rival, Quilty. It shows the choice Lolita has to make and after a hospital stay, she escapes Humbert and runs away with Quilty.
Because of the inappropriateness of this novel, many people were harmed and disgusted because of the realness of the book--that awareness was brought to the issue, and just like anyone's luck, could have their childhood stolen from them.
