So at the beginning of the novel, he is trial for raping and molesting Lolita and killing a man.
So now that you had heard his side of the story, would you still find him guilty or innocent? -

Off topic slightly but I am just catching up with this board and like your responses on certain threads, Saemilin, particularly your reasons for not nurturing/enabling a relationship with that 18 year-old when you were aged 28.
Yes this board as you rightly pointed out, is for the purpose of the later version of Lolita. I have both versions but didn't see the original until much later after the first, which I have to say, is by far the best version in my personal opinion. It carries a profound and more intimate delve into Humbert's psyche I think.

Of course I find him guilty - he
was
guilty. I would hope everyone else would find him guilty too. Regardless of the hapless nature of his adoration for Lolita he broke the law. The fact I actually feel for Humbert and his plight should have no influence on whether or not I would find him guilty in a court of law if I was a juror and if that is what you are asking.
