And it is all the more moving because you realise that Dolores had died in childbirth. It was my first time reading "Lolita", so I didn't pick up the reference at the very beginning about her death, because I didn't recognise that she was Mrs Schiller.

She really never had a chance to have a full and happy life, did she.
