list of obnoxious traits in Charles Kinbote

Six things that annoy me about Charles Kinbote:
1. He is arrogant, and completely self-absorbed. He thinks things like,“ My free and simple demeanor set everybody at ease” pg. 21 or “ Shade could not write otherwise than beautifully- but void of my magic, of that special rich streak of magical madness which I was sure would run through it and make it transcend its time.” Pg.296-297
2. He is crazy. (this could actually be something I love about him as well) I love when the woman in the grocery store comes right out and says “ what’s more, you are insane” on page 25, it sums it all up quite nicely.
3. It would appear that he doesn’t know when he is unwanted, and I feel bad for Sybill and John Shade, because, after all, haven’t we all had neighbors a bit like Kinbote?
4. His note to line 680 “ Why our poet chose to give his 1958 hurricane a little-used Spanish name ( sometimes given to parrots) instead of Linda or Lois, is not clear.” pg.243
5. Stealing someone’s poem is not cool, even if it does make for a good story.
6. The way he calls Shade “our poet” is creepy.
