Abstract

Image Presentation Theory, which classifies and analyzes visual images based on their relations to various theoretical understandings of “window” and “frame” terminology, can be applied not only to how visuals, such as commercial films, function and differ but also can bring new metaphorical understandings to tactics and responses in other media, such as the novel. In applying this concept to Nabokov’s book of Lolita (1955), we can gain new insights on his process and impact through application of Special Case Frame considerations normally applied to visual images, while films adapted from the novel by Kubrick (1962) and Lyne (1997) utilize variations on the Classic Window approach, Message/Story, and Theatrical Realism respectively.
