The Annotated Lolita Post 3

I found it odd how Lolita came onto Humbert Humbert. When stating this in court it was almost as if he was trying to say what he did was okay and not completely his fault. I found the ending of Part One to go by rather fast. From Ms. Haze's death to actually sleeping with Lolita, the chain of events progressed  quickly. I think Lolita was a lot different than Humbert Humbert anticipated. She was nothing similar to Annabelle his child lover. First off, she was not a virgin and she was not sweet and innocent like Annabelle had been.  Humbert Humbert had been preparing for months how exactly he would go about seducing Lolita and when the time came things turned out very different than he had expected. When the sleeping pills he had given her did not work, he panicked. But then the next morning, it was Lolita who seduced Humbert Humbert. And he did not even have to say or do anything, he simply just played along. It makes me think, Is this a child molesters dream? To have a child be more than willing to partake in his fantasies. Or is it the opposite, that it takes away the thrill of overcoming your victim. Humbert Humbert does not seem too bothered by it and happily leaves their hotel and travels to the next spot where he will continue this romance. Part 1 of Lolita is quite different from The Enchanter in this way. The girl in The Enchanter does not consent to the man's actions but Lolita does. When I was reading The Enchanter I felt more disgusted then I did when reading Lolita. Even though I know what Humbert Humbert was doing was wrong and sickening, it was different because Lolita gave permission. Whereas, the girl in The Enchanter did not agree to do anything with the man and when he tried to take her over, it made my stomach sink.
