Abstract
This paper focuses on postmodern concepts of the narrator unreliability, intertextuality and humor. It describes the postmodern unreliable narrator according to postmodern views of theory in general, and more specifically according to Asgar Nünnings list of textual signs of unreliability. It also explicates the inseparability of the postmodern intertextuality, or parody as described by Linda Hutcheon, and humor, precisely, irony in the service of creating a parody. Furthermore, the paper analyzes Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita, concentrating on the novels unreliable narrator, intertextuality and humor. It is explicated that Lolitas narrator shows signs of unreliability. In addition to that, it is discussed that the novels intertextuality in combination with irony parodies different genres, making intertextuality and humor inseparable in the novel. Lolitas film adaptations by Stanley Kubrick and Adrian Lyne are also analyzed according to their narrator, intertextuality and humor. The elements of the narrator unreliability, intertextuality and humor in film adaptations are compared to those elements in the novel. The paper identifies Kubricks Lolita as a postmodern film as it features these postmodern elements. It also shows that these elements cannot be found in Lynes Lolita, concluding that Nabokovs and Kubricks Lolita are examples of postmodern art, while Lynes Lolita is not.
