It is about the isolation and the distant gulf that such an experience generates in a person.

At it’s true heart, ASOUE is a harsh and uncompromising look at death and grief entering and changing forever children’s worlds. Because the story wasn’t ostensibly about the sugar bowl or there being a possible survivor of the fire whose whearabouts were unknown, or what VFD stands for or why the Baudelaire parents were involved with it. Snicket in A Series of Unfortunate Events used a clever (or highly irritating depending on how you look at it, but isn’t that Snicket’s point yet again?) double feint. Often stories are in medias res or in the midst of things and that’s the post modern point. Don’t believe me? Ask me a so called unanswered question in the comments and I vow I’ll come up with the answer from the text), but rather the point was to point out that often we don’t know all of the answers and that no matter how frustrating that is, the world isn’t fair and the world doesn’t have to care. It is obvious to me that the point of the series was not the answer to such questions (though the answers are there if one reads between the lines and uses a bit of imagination. Just tell us the damn answer to what’s in the sugar bowl, Snicket? What’s the dealio with Olaf and the Baudelaire parents and poison darts and why, oh why, can you not just tell us straight who Beatrice is? I never felt let down. Many people found A Series of Unfortunate Events frustrating. A sneaky jibe at the many A Series of Unfortunate Events fans who felt let down by The End? I like to think so. I will always marvel at Snicket’s sheer nerve at calling his new series All The Wrong Questions. Though his marketers have gone for that age group, his style, his themes and his insistence on discussing bitter truths one can’t avoid, makes him rather transcend age brackets. I will forever wonder why Lemony Snicket is classified as a children’s author.
