Is this coincidence or on purpose?

Question

Ok so I was on a popular message board about breaking dawn and some one brought up a startling coincidence about pedophilia and the twilight series. For all those who have read "Lolita" you will be familiar with a character named CLARE QUILTY. Sounds familiar? *Quil imprinting on baby Clare* even down to the spelling of Clare *Clare is usually spelled Claire, so mull that over*

Any ways

For those not familiar with the story "Lolita" Clare Quilty is a man that blatantly follows a young teen girl just to bed her, gets married to her, and then gets her pregnant with the promise of making her a star. He acts very bad towards her when she refuses to join his orgies and other despicable plans. There is also hints that he might be a bi sexual. When I read this and thought about it...it made me ill. For a more seasoned reader, please put two and two together. For the novice readers pick up a copy of Lolita and read it for yourselves. The parallel is freaky. I mean really?Its a big coincidence that Clare and Quil sounds like Clare Quilty. Look it up. If this is the case then SMEYER should be a ashamed and now her pedophilia is evident. Wow! disgusting!

Answer 1

haha I think you had a lot of time to put that together...

I don't usual "mull" over unimportant coincedeces or whatever it was.

Answer 2

Wow, great connection. I hadn't realised that before and I agree that it was definitely done on purpose.

Answer 3

I admire your dedication towards attempting to draw a parallel to an infinitely superior book (Lolita the superior, that is), but your inquiry is likely a huge stretch.  Has the author read Lolita?  Probably.  Does she have the requisite imagination to make something more of it than a cheap name comparison with a vaguely similar end result?  No.  She writes rather poorly written yet immensely popular teen vampire romances.  They really are variations on the Goosebumps-style books from numerous years before, except with those the writing was sometimes rather inspired, not filled with bogged down cliches about a pretend 'goth' lifestyle that has always been a desperate plea for recognition.

Read Lolita.  It is a wonderful book.

Answer 4

umm nooo, in the twilight series it is spelt "claIre."

with the I!!!
