I was commenting on this technique of the one-sided narrative and the effect it has on the reader. It would have been an entirely different book had Dolores had her own voice in equal to Humbert. It probably would have made the subject matter significantly less palatable. But I still wondered what she was really thinking because you couldn't rely that everything Humbert said was truthful from her perspective.
