npub1gqjy0wfgrnx6daxwxe0rd4j4lej2wmt6d8f0sqz0wdw3l4ddvx8qe53tu3 (npub1gqj…3tu3) film group (npub1xt5…xkeu) I could see maybe interpreting the darkly comic spin that Kubrick gave the piece as showing Humbert sympathetically, especially his early foiled attempts to get closer to Lo, when Charlotte always intervenes with sitcom-esque timing. But I agree, his portrayal is certainly not positive, nor should it be. That's a common criticism of the novel as well, but he's clearly a monster for those willing to look past his narcissistic narration.
