The great Russian writer Nabokov - writer of the (in)famous LOLITA story - is clearly an E7. He enhanced the lightness of his books by drawing butterflies designed in his imagination and inspired by Vera; the woman he adored for the most part of his life. Even more than Pushkin he was an E7 womanizer who made James Bond look pale; he made a list of the women he had loved and it amounted to 28. Just like Cathy in Wuthering Heights he impulsively started a new relation (Svetlana Sievert) for which he wanted to leave his existing relation but he finally returned to Vera. Vera's biographer wrote 'The affair with Irina was certainly not the last, just like the sigarette from 1945 would be his last' (I know an E7 who smokes 2 cigarettes at the same time.) Just like Cathy; Nabokovs relation to Vera was an unhappy one but rationalized into bliss by the E7 protagonist.
