Whats with you, Kinbote?

Charles Kinbote can be a very funny character, but there are few things that when reading the novel, I have to set the book down and remind myself that it's just a book and there is no reason to get upset at this man.

1. I’ve had people like Charles Kinbote hang around me, like he does to John Shade. Taking advantage of the sympathetic.

2. His desecration of Pale Fire.

3. He is an egomaniac. Everything in the poem, he is somehow able to twist it around to be about him.

4. Who would want to hang out in Zembla, Really?

5. Creeper

6. He has no sympathy for the death of Hazel.
