Crime and Punishment is about a guy who kills people and feels he has the right to get away with it because he is an intellectual and knows better. Macbeth is about a guy who kills people for expedience sake. Do you have a problem with those works?

Nice try. The problem is twofold with Lolita, subject matter and presentation. The way in which it is presented is meant to titilate. This is unlike Macbeth which is presented as a cautionary tale of hubris.
