Solipsism, which is the theory that the mind is the only certain entity that exists, has various moral implications that allow people with solipsistic views of their world to justify the mistreatment of others others. In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert Humbert, a self-proclaimed murderer and lover of "nymphets," demonstrates a solipsistic worldview that makes him see everything in relation to himself, creating new personas for various characters and only narrating the series of events from his prospect. Humbert's solipsism makes him see everything that happens to him exclusively from his point of view, as he believes that his mind is all that exists, therefore making the events that happen exclusively acts of fate and the people he encounters figments of his imagination . Humbert's solipsism compromises the reliability of his narration, since he describes the characters exclusively from his point of view, stripping them of their individuality and describing them exclusively in relation to himself; Humbert's tendency to write solely from his own point of view forces the reader to accept the series of events he presents as truth, without any outside input, allowing him to completely control the reader's perception of him and the events of the novel. Humbert's solipsism allows him to create his own imaginary world in which he controls everything, including creating a cast of characters that he describes as he sees fit; Humbert's description of various characters, particularly Charlotte Haze, allows him to control the reader's perception of the plot, removing any objectivity from his narrative.

By giving different names to the various roles she plays and creating the name Lolita to use when she is with him, Humbert makes the character of Lolita a figment of his expansive imagination. In one of Humbert's rare moments of open honesty, he writes: "Lolita had been quietly solipsized... I looked at her, rosy, gold-dusted, beyond the veil of my controlled joy, unaware of it, alien to it... " (60) and later continues to write: “what I had possessed was not her, but a creation of mine, another imaginative Lolita, perhaps more real than Lolita; overlapping, enveloping it; floating between me and her, and without will, no
