Sexson has been talking about the Ladder of knowledge that as a class we are climbing to get to a full understanding of the work Pale Fire. i feel that i will never get to the top... is there anyway of reaching a point of ful understanding when it comes to Nabokov? i cant imagine. but at the same time, as a reader we are all able to get into the deep thoughts of this illusive writer that seems to pop up everywhere. i dont know if all of what i see and hear throughout any given day is just coincidence .... but i feel that everywhere i look and every time i have a conversation with someone i am taken back to a part in one of Nabokovs crazy , wonderful stories. maybe i am just reading into things far to much but i feel like there is so much about what i read on his pages that are things that happen daily. there is always that one person who makes all things about them, like Kinbote. i mean really does anyone NOT have friend like that? or maybe i just have a couple weird friends... haha but really when i look around a see all that is around me i feel likei can pick out people in a crowd that could essentially be a Nabokov character.
Maybe that is what is so wonderful about reading Nabokov..... his characters have so much realism to them, even HUmbert, they all have something that a reader can connect to , or at least connect to another person.
