stanley kubrick - lolita - [humbert meets lolita]

unfortuntly i have just become aware of this film and thus sue lyon it seems to me that her role in this could well be linked to the film cruel intentions (obviously with cruel intentions and perticualrly sarah m geller taking her charcter from lolita) sorry for my spelling

Humbert is a miserable desperate man for folling in love with an ideal rather than a person. He loves something that he can never reach.

Miserable perhaps, but is someone desperate for loving an ideal?

From what I remember from the movie, Lolita was no angel, actually she might have had some previous experience prior to meeting Mr.Humbert like you said.

Yes, I am aware of what would happen to Humbert if caught. I believe that both Humbert and Dolores are to blame, equally. I am not sure if you had read the book, but Humbert said "I had thought that months, perhaps years, would elapse before I dared to reveal myself to Dolores Haze; but by six she was wide awake and by six fifteen we were technically lovers. I am going to tell you something very strange: it was she who seduced me.'

Nope, I haven't read the book. Your quote from the book just confirms Lolita was certainly well instructed in the facts of life, as Prof Zempf (is that how you spell it?) put it....

lolita ya ya... but the ventures
