Through works that have used the literary approach of unreliable narration, the reader is thrown in for a loop with the intention of the work using manipulation, deception and lack of clarity in the narrator’s actions and its connect to reality. What the narrator says or does is all experienced through their words and as such, creates a sense of intrigue and delusion that questions the legitimacy of everything that happens. Further, using non-linear style of narration and constant contradictory statements and situations from the narrator and characters surrounding them present doubt for the readers on their reliability. For example in ‘Lolita’ by Vladimir Nabokov, Humbert Humbert presents the unreliable narrative style as his recollection of incidents is often in contradiction to how the characters behave and how they react. As such, his perception of the world he lives in comes off as askewed and confused. His efforts to percieve his situation as pitiable and demanding empathy is often contradicted by his awareness that what he does is perhaps not normal and thus, his narration becomes more so of an effort to convince the reader of his validity and righteousness.
