I’d question him about his courtship of Charlotte—how he weaponized her vanity to secure access to Lolita. His response would betray his contempt for her, dressed as dark humor or intellectual detachment.
What would you ask Humbert Humbert about killing Quilty?
I’d ask why he considers Quilty’s murder an act of justice rather than a confession of guilt. He’d probably frame it as poetic symmetry, but the truth lies in his inability to escape the mirror Quilty held up to his soul.
