The narrative style is characterized by a high degree of psychological insight and attention to the inner world of the characters. Nabokov masterfully conveys the feelings and thoughts of the protagonist using stream of consciousness and internal monologues. Literary devices include allusions, irony, and wordplay, adding depth and layers to the text.
