If anyone believes that certain concepts are absolutely the correct ones, and that having different ones would mean not realizing something that we realize - then let him imagine certain very general facts of nature to be different from what we are used to, and the formation of concepts different from the usual ones will become intelligible to him.

As this quote implies, Wittgenstein accepted all different points of view as being "correct." Rather than seeking a singular "truth" regarding the use of language, Wittgenstein claimed that there are many different possible "language-games" that people can play. As in the case of games, each language has its own particular set of rules and objectives. In the analysis of language, Wittgenstein advocated using the metaphor of games, in which "a given move can be judged only according to the rules of the game to which it belongs."

In developing his approach to language analysis, Wittgenstein did not seek to create a single, rigid theory which can be applied to all general cases. Rather, his system provides a flexible guide for the analysis of the various possible rules in language-games. As noted by Timothy Binkley in his text Wittgenstein's Language, the question in language analysis is not whether a particular expres

There are also many interesting allusions to be found in the text of Lolita. For example, Alfred Appel's annotated version of Lolita indicates that there are many references to Edgar Allen Poe as well as to his poem "Annabel Lee." In fact, in one of the book's passages it is noted that Lolita's real name is "Annabel Haze, alias Dolores Lee." The meaning behind this use of allusion can be found in Poe's feelings of disillusionment and frustration over not being able to ever really attain the object of his love. In addition to the more than twenty references to Poe which occur in the novel, Lolita also contains allusions to such literary figures as Prosper Merimee, William Shakespeare, and James Joyce. In addition, there are a few allusions to the nineteenth century mathematician and novelist, Lewis Carroll. During the scene in which Lolita is asleep from the effects of drugs, Humbert states that "a breeze from wonderland had begun to affect my thoughts." This is a clear allusion to Alice in Wonderland, Carroll's most famous novel. The meaning of this allusion can be seen in the fact that Carroll, like Humbert, was known to be a "nympholept."

Although the specific details of Humbert's experience on the mountain are left vague, it is nonetheless apparent that the experience has had a profound impact on his subjective being. In particular, the experience causes Humbert to develop a new attitude toward "nymphets" and "children," in which he becomes aware of the true innocence and purity which are characteristic of childhood. He seems to have come to the realization that childhood is a sacred time of life and that it should not be tampered with by the selfish, desirous aims of adults. Using Wittgensteinian terminology to describe this change in attitude, one can say that Humbert has experienced a clarification in his definitions of terms such as "nymphet" and "childhood."
