摘　　要：Reader-response criticism,which began in the 1960s,differs from traditional literary criticism in that it emphasizes that criticism should be reader-centered,believing that the meaning of a work lies in the act of the reader and the reading process.The true artistic and appreciation value of a work is realized only after the author publishes it and after it has been read by readers.American writer Vladimir Nabokov’s“Lolita”has since its publication been attracting a large number of readers to read it,analyze it from different angles and there is contradictory sometimes;perhaps it is the contradictory views that have made it so famous that readers continue to study it from new points of view.This paper focuses on the controversial heroine’s character in the novel by applying the three aspects of reader-response criticism:horizon of expectation,expect reconstruction and response-inviting structure.
