<<Here's another question re. Hazel:  Isn't the reason
for her suicide a bit shallow?  Do we really want to
buy into "not pretty" as a tragedy?  Nabokov
could have come up with any number of tragic
circumstances for her torment besides this.>>

Not pretty?  You might try reading again.  The section
of the poem beginning at line 293 and describing
Hazel, is a catalog of childhood woe.
