Conflicts

Person vs. Society

Humbert's unusual interests combat societal expectations of grown men.  Society tends to disapprove of pedophilia and incest; Humbert practices both of these.  He attempts to mask this by marrying grown women with child-like qualities.  He also married adult women to try and overcome his pedophilia.  He pretends to be in love with Charlotte so he can live with her and be closer to Lolita.
