Document Summary
Video 1: from camp q to the enchanted hunters. Nabokov is testing attention to detail with increasing concentration. Nabokov has been stage managing the emergence of humbert"s competitor- wallace will drop hints of who this is. The speed at which nabokov sketches scenes into existence. We should be troubled by humbert"s crimes and gifts as a writer. Humbert has forced dolly to recognize her own vulnerability and lack of options. Humbert recognizes he is a monster at times. P. 175-176- measures dolly"s health in a restrictive way and then acknowledges what he is doing to her because he feigns sleep . Admits he has damaged dolly and america which he has defiled with a sinuous trail of slime . The irony- humbert enslaves dolly in a land that calls itself the land of the free- the individual isn"t subjected to public interference.
