Identify both the visuals and ‘establish’ a connection.
Quoting Kaustuba ,
“Second Picture is a poster of the movie Lolita (1962 version).
In the story, the protagonist Humber Humbert hires a former tennis legend to coach Lolita knowing the fact that since he is a homosexual he wouldn’t bother her.
Vladimir Nabokov, writer of the novel, apparently based this tennis legend character on Bill Tilden, who is shown in the first picture”

William “Big Bill” Tilden had a relationship with 14 year old Bobby.
In Lolita, Humbert Humbert is obsessed with a girl much younger to him.
So… connect would be Pedophilia/Pederasty.
B is Lolita. And A looks a lot like Vladimir Nobakov, though i have my doubts on that.
From Wiki:
Bill Tilden is depicted, but not named, by Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita. He appears as a has-been tennis champion with “a harem of ball boys”, whom Humbert Humbert hires to coach Lolita.

Bill Tiden and Lolita.
Tilden is depicted, but not named, by Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita. He appears as a has-been tennis champion with “a harem of ball boys”, whom Humbert Humbert hires to coach Lolita, knowing that he will not try to seduce her due to his homosexuality. In retrospect, Nabokov told Alfred Appel, who was editing an annotated version of Lolita, that his anonymous tennis coach was a real person who had won three Wimbledon championships, was born in 1893, and died in 1953. Tilden is the only Wimbledon champion to fit this description. The name of Nabokov’s character is “Ned Litam”, which can rendered “Ma Tilden” when spelt backwards.
