Meaning, his fantasy of the kind of child Lolita should be is a fantasy he had based on his own childhood and the girl he loved then, and he doesn't know the realities of children's lives "today," so Lolita's generation is so different from his own. In that, within the same passage, he explains that later he becomes aware that Lolita is not a virgin and that all the elation he feels with the key in his pocket, anticipating taking her virginity, will actually devestate him because part of his fantasy was that Lolita was pure and innocent, but really she's a girl living in a time that he did not grow up in. By having the narrative tell of the past the novel allows Humbert to do things like set up a tragic irony on himself. Humbert also explains that he should have, in that moment, simply run away and not touched Lolita, and if he'd done so then he could have avoided his tragedy of eventually being caught. The novel is told in a way as if Humbert is writing to a jury of his peers, so it's essentially told in a very flamboyant way as if testifying his love for her and the kind of innocence of what he's planning on doing by comparing it to previous relations between adults and children in previous times/places and in a way also saying it's the rules of society, laws that are "new" in comparison to history, that make sleeping with a child so wrong.

The chapter describes his elation at having put his full plan into effect and he's essentially feeding off the anticipation of raping her. He takes her up to a hotel room and locks her inside, walking alone as he allows the drug to take full effect, and planning to return in a half hour.
The sentence comes from a part in the book when Humbert Humbert (the "protagonist" and narrator of the novel) has basically stolen Lolita away and has in the previous chapter just given her a pill to knock her unconscious. I can't do the whole thing justice because the book is simply phenomenal, so I'm going to miss some things about the text, and if someone wants to fill those gaps, feel free. So, I'll do a brief explanation of the events around the passage, some spoilers for Lolita follow, so if you want to jump out, do so now: Robot and Tyrell Prime all know what's going on.
The government simultaneously underpins theses arguments with the assumption that the government is both an unimpeachable moral custodian, and impervious to the huge, embarrassing and frequent hacks that happen to the government departments, corporations, political organizations, and even the DoD.Īnd the obvious plot line is that since Angela has almost independently shined a spotlight on White Rose's township project, while simultaneously penetrating E-Corp, White Rose decided to elevate her clearance instead of killing her. This plays off recent events with the government assuring the world that they are trusted custodians of backdoors. Or, maybe it's a bit simpler and the Dark Army invervened in hacking the FBI/E-Corp so they could get a handle on E-coin's soon to be government mandated backdoors. The best guess is that they're constructing an ultra-power-hungry quantum computer to break cryptography, which would destroy the underpinnings of both bitcoin and ecoin. God knows what the dark army is doing in the township plant, aside from causing toxic spills and power outages. The whole "stage 2" thing has overtly been about finishing off E-Corp, which survived the financial crash and thrived just as most of the major financial players in our last financial crash. Yep, E-corp survived, and they're taking the huge haul of Chinese money to move it into E-coin "which we control." But they don't control it.
