“Are you bothered by Romantic associations?”queried my wife--in allusion to her first surrender. “Hell no,” said I . “I just wonder where will you put your daughter when you get your guest or your maid.” “Ah,” said Mrs.Humbert, dreaming,smiling,drawing out the “Ah” simultaneously with the rise of one eyebrow and a soft exhalation of breath . “Little Lo, I'm afraid, does not enter the picture at all , at all . Little Lo goes straight from camp to a good boarding school with strict discipline and some sound religious training . And then --Beardsley College. I have it all planned out, you need not worry .” (pg. 82-83)

In this quote , Humberts wife is telling him that Lolita will be going off to camp with strict discipline and good education . Mrs. Humbert has this eery feeling that Lolita was trying to seduce Humbert, and she was right . This is why she tries to completely isolate Humbert for herself . Lolita does not really agree with going but  is forced to . Leaving Humbert with the first real sign of a sexual relationship , a long kiss before she left. This is what drove Humbert nuts when she had left because he knew that his wife was trying to separate them . Humbert feels as if the love of his life is slowly leaving him . Mrs. Humbert actually knew and accused Lolita for liking all of her boyfriends and husbands . She seen Lolita as a distraction in her relationships . But sending her away was not going to keep Humbert from getting to Lolita because Humbert would follow her to the end of the earth if he had to . Later on in the book while Lolita is off in camp , Mrs . Humbert finds Humbert's diary .Which had all of his deepest secrets in . Mrs.Humbert confronted him and called him sick and disgusting because in his little book he wrote about his obsession as well . He also writes about how much he dislikes his wife , calls her a animal as well . He really does not like her . But in all seriousness I felt like Humbert was forced to marry her as well , or else he would of been homeless out on the street . It wasn't right for mrs.Humbert to do that in the first place . All of this lead to her death . She leaves the house running out because she didn't know what to do . As she got to the street  a car runs her over .
