While digging into Peter Sellers, I ended up looking at Nabokov, and discovered this amazing reference to Q. Remember that the MAGA Q and the Star Trek Q are both manipulating society to change things. The Nabokov family was doing the same thing in the early 20th century as well. This is part of a very large plan.
Clare Quilty, when first introduced, seems to be almost an afterthought from Nabokov. The initial mention of him comes in Lolita’s faux-foreword written by a fictional John Ray, Jr. In it are a few words about a biography entitled My Cue (Cue being Clare Quilty) written by Vivian Darkbloom (Nabokov 4). Vivian Darkbloom is an anagram of Vladimir Nabokov, which the author uses in order to place himself into Lolita. This first indication of Quilty is innocuous and innocent. It does not betray how important he is to the story that the main character, Humbert Humbert, will spin over the next three hundred pages. Clare Quilty, for the beginning of the novel, is simply a playwright – in fact, for much of the novel Humbert seemingly believes him to be a woman. However, Clare Quilty is quite possibly one of the most interesting characters in the novel due to the fact that he simply might not exist. Whether it is just his personality that is dreamt up by Humbert or whether he never existed at all, Clare Quilty is nothing but a pawn in Humbert Humbert’s quest to prove his morality and innocence.
