do not touch me. If you touch me, I will die.

i'll die if u touch me..
Humbert was so desperate and vulnerable when he said this.
I can understand what that sentence means, and I can understand Humbert's final behavior.
It's not so much that Lolita hurts the hero so badly, it's better to say that the hero's love for her slashes himself with thousands of cuts.
It might just be a one-man show for the male protagonist from beginning to end, and the girls are just props.
In Lolita's view, she was nothing more than a survival game that Humbert had been playing for a few years, nothing more.
And the tragic Humbert fell in love with this stubborn rock.
He really fell in love with her, and it was a continuation of his love for the teenage girl he loved who died of typhoid fever.
His spiritual support and even his life is what Lolita is all about.
He is not a pervert, but his world cannot be without Lolita's love.
He thought that he possessed Lolita because Lolita depended on him, maybe a little love existed.
But when he gave her the money three years later and asked her, "What about me?", what he got was an indifferent expression with her lips closed. At this moment, his heart was broken, really broken. As if nothing had happened between them.
He loved Lolita deeply and never thought to hurt her.
So, in the end, he chose to kill the pervert (if it was me, maybe even Lolita solved it together), or to kill the former self.
His love is missing and incomplete.
His rationality and kindness, just because of a temporary desire and the lack of love in his early years, began to conflict with his behavior and struggled. So he became a murderer, a culprit of incest.
But he was actually pathetic and pathetic.
Next time when you see the news of love murder, please don't be wise to say: crazy and unreasonable. Because you have not experienced what they have experienced, and you have not experienced what they have felt, maybe if it were you, your cruelty would be even more unreasonable.
The world is so complicated and strange, especially when it comes to relationships.
Morals and ethics may not be created because they are deliberately made by stubborn, conformist people, but only to avoid harm and avoid situations like the hero Humbert's painful and hopeless situations happen to us.

  • Humbert: What are you eating?
