Part of the problem with the way the book is perceived is with using the word ‘Lolita’ to describe the girl in the book. The girl is named Dolores and is a rape victim.

Lola is a variant of Dolores (Spanish for "sorrows," a reference IIRC to Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows), and Lolita is of course the diminutive of Lola, so there is a connection, even if the name is only in Humbert²'s head.

I’m not saying the name was randomly chosen but that it denotes Humbert and not his victim.
