The 98 edition is a love tragedy, and the 62 edition is a tragedy

When I finished reading the 98th edition, I felt that it was an unforgettable love. Although it straddles the age, I can't lose a trace of emotion. In Kubrick’s version, Humbert is sad, unspeakable sadness, love that cannot be replied. It is love at first sight and human desire. She is poisoned when she is alive. Lolita is a child. Growing up, changing, and curious. At the same time, nothing will be her only. Humbert is just an outsider, a doctor, a stepfather, or a game partner. If you regard Lolita as a lover, she is full of lies. Bitch, but she is a child, lying is just a way for her to grow up and want to get. For me, the 98 edition is a love tragedy, and the 62 edition is a tragedy.

Humbert Humbert: Well, it's nothing, but... she had an accident.
Clare Quilty: Oh gee, she had an accident? That's really terrible, I mean, fancy a fellow's wife having... a normal guy having... his wife having an accident like that. W-what happened to her?
Humbert Humbert: Er, she was hit by a car.
Clare Quilty: Gee, no wonder she's not here. Gee, you must feel pretty bad about it. W-w-w-w-when uh eh w-what's happening, is she coming out later or something?
Humbert Humbert: Well, that was the understanding.
Clare Quilty: What, in an ambulance? Hahahaha! Gee, I'm sorry, I-I-I-shouldn't say that; I get sorta carried away, you know, being so normal and everything.
