Excellent post and discussion! Thank you for linking to it. I was pleased to see someone mention "Reading Lolita in Tehran" in the comment thread; I thought the interpretation there was bang on in its emphasis on male erasure of female identity through coercion. I think that, in particular, the way that HH is unable/unwilling to see Dolores as herself and the justifications he marshalls for what he does are a really accurate depiction of the mind of an abuser in a patriarchy: he uses the Virgin/Whore dichotomy, for instance.
