Joshua,

Your interpretation of foreshadowing about Humbert having neither Lolita nor Charlotte at the end of the story is

creative and interesting!

A. Do you think it is effective?

ans: In my opinion, I think it is effective because in this scene shows the relationship between Humbert and Lolita reluctance as an example of fickle nature. On the other hand Lolita’s mother Charlotte who loves Humbert but he does not have same feeling like Lolita. Humbert says that his feelings for Lolita is rooted in love but his self delusion prevents him from making any incident. Humbert can not consider the morality of his action and the audience can also see Humbert’s personality and what he actually wants since the beginning of the noble. Although the action are delicate , it becomes obvious what the director wants from audience to see.

B. What does it mean?

ans: It means when Lolita put her hand on Humbert , Charlotte swings her hand over to grab for Humbert hand. This scene portrayed the relationship between Lolita and Charlotte. she has criticisms toward her daughter. Charlotte feels jealous of Lolita’s youth and beauty. Charlotte starts yelling her and attacks her every moves. She is unaware of Humbert doesn’t want her, he wants Lolita. It is a coencidents in our life because Lolita is young girl like his daughter which is unthinkable to think about her like a lover. The scene of this movie helps us to get inside the other people’s head. Also everyone has extraordinary selfishness of their own belief.

C. What does the animal print say about her?

ans: The leopard-skin print is means reflection of Lolita’s personality and role within the film. Charlotte is a widow and after meeting with Humbert she falls in love with him and which fills the void left by her late husband. The leopard print is a symbol of her attempt to greedy and the indulgence of her carnal desires. She wants Humbert to fall in love with her, so she wears an exotic animal print.

A. Do you think it is effective?
I think it is effective because Humbert wanted that childhood love that he could never had. But with Lolita it changes his life complete and felt that he could fulfill that love he lost. When a scene, made Humbert as character very obsessive for Lolita wanting at life with her forever. Also, with Humbert with charlotte, who she loves him so much and want someone to grow old and find that love she also lost. But the only problem is that Humbert does not lover her back or more like just a friend.
B. What does it mean?
It means that there a scene where there is a lot of guilt a betrayed. The only person that did not know and did not open her eyes and see what really going on in front of her face. Humbert and Lolita were like flirting and she did not realize because Charlotte was too bust trying too hard, flirting all the time with him. Trying him to fall in love her but fail.

C. What does the animal print say about her?
The animal print say about her is that her personality in the film is about charlotte seeing Humbert and falling in love because she is widow and with Lolita anything can happen , she always surprise on what she does or who she does it with. The leopard print is a symbol that she referring or provoking Humbert to be with her because she feels lonely for and what would want someone to fulfill that empty part of the family, need a man in her life.
