“You revolting creature. I was a daisy-fresh girl, and look what you’ve done to me. I ought to call the police and tell them you raped me." - Dolores Haze in Lolita

"One of the few times Dolly is quoted directly (if we can trust our narrator not to make words up) it is to say clearly what happened to her, immediately after. She uses the same word late in the book again, reminding her stepfather that having nowhere else to go doesn't mean she can't recognise his abuse for what it is. These days a common critique of 'Lolita' is that Dolly doesn't have a voice. While the book is obviously dominated by Humberts POV that isn't quite true.

"Nabokov dismissed his first draft of the short story that would become 'Lolita' because "the little girl wasn't alive. She hardly spoke." In writing 'Lolita' "little by little I managed to give her some semblance of reality." Dolores Haze speaks, even though much of her voice is taken from her.

"Like many children trapped in desparate circumstances she tries to make herself heard in whatever way she thinks she can, even if it is "just" speaking the truth of those circumstances to her rapists face. Dolores Haze has a voice and its up to us to listen."
