While we are discussing possible Lolitas, I thought Anna Paquin would
have made a great Lolita(though she is perhaps too old now.).
Another thought: Emma in Madame Bovary wishes for a son, and faints when
she learns she has had a daughter instead. Similiarly, Humbert wishes for
Lolita that( contrary to his earlier expectations for a litter of Lolitas)
her child will be a boy. From her letter, one notices that so too does Lo
herself. We have learnt earlier that Lo's child is a stillborn girl. I
always thought that a significant point, but, is it also an allusion? Lo
and (the sometimes repulsively hard)Emma of course are quite different
people.
Cheers!
