Lolita and H.H.

"'You revolting creature. I was a daisy-fresh girl, and look what you've done to me. I ought to call the police and tell them you raped me…' Was she just joking?…she started complaining of pains, said she could not sit, said I had torn something inside her. The sweat rolled down my neck… At the hotel we had separate rooms, but in the middle of the night she came sobbing into mine, and we made it up very gently. You see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go" (141-142)

Humbert and Lolita have begun their peculiar, infamous relationship and, I think, they are realizing already it is not going to go well. Humbert,  although obsessed with her, begins to notice the different shades in Lolita and her temperamental attitude. As the quote reads, she accuses him boldly of having raped her, which the reader can interpret differently whether she meant it or not, and his response was one of fear and unpleasantness. He realizes he is getting into serious stuff, that his freedom as a citizen is in jeopardy but he stubbornly discards the possibility of abandoning her and his fetish.

On the other hand, Lolita becomes more attached to him even though sometimes he annoys her. The reader could see her at times as seductive and inciting towards Humbert. He buys her many things so perhaps she begins to see him as a close relative and is why she trusts him more. However, I think the last sentence of the quote is very powerful and tells a lot about the current condition of their relationship. Even though their compatibility isn't outstanding, Lolita, literally, has ran out of options and is left with having to trust Humbert.

Will Humbert be compassionate and do "the-right-thing?" What society asks of him? Or will he take this opportunity to go all the way with his fantasy?
