Nabakov's Lolita day 6

The middle text of Lolita is strange. HH, ever one suspects the unreliable narrator, tells of episodes over at least a year if not two. Lolita is growing, putting on weight, obviously desperately unhappy, and it's clear that HH is abusing her almost every day. It is not nice to read.  HH's p[paranoia is growing, we're rooting for Dolores escape. (Interesting that I name her Lolita in the previous sentence, - I've avoided doing that because that is HH's pet name , "Lo, Lola, Lolita" is his refrain, and I use her full name out of respect for the female character, so as not to get caught in his net of creepy justification.
