The 'anesthesia' from the purple pills had worn off. Dolores, wakes up with Humbert Humbert in the same bed as she and pretending to be asleep. She isn't freaked out, frightened, or even just a little surprised. Instead,
Dolores’ reaction is to kiss him and then have sex with him.
This really makes me question even further what is going on in Lolita’s head
and that she may actually be the seducer more than Humbert. However, taking a
step back, it appears that Humbert’s presentation of his defense is “working”
on me, at least to a small extent. At this point in the novel, is Humbert’s
defense “working” on you? Yes, pedophilia is wrong, disgusting, and loathesome,
but do you think that Humbert should
hold all of the blame?
