We dont actually know. There were no answers at the last Book. In fact I actually regret reading the entire series and maybe i should have just heeded Lemony Snicket's warning. The Series turned out to be actually a load of tosh. It wasn't really miserable or unfortunate it was just annoying that none of the answers to the mysteries were revealed. Not even VFD and don't tell me it was Fire Extinguishing Services of Very Flammable Hydrant. It had 100 meanings, but the true meaning that Voilet, Klaus & Sunny were looking for was never revealed.
And if you think about it, the Book is very unrealistic - What sort of of ppl would believe Count Olaf each time and do the sordid crimes they did and justify themselves. The world of Lemony Snicket seemed to be a warped version of today's future. The day there is a world like that we must realize that the Apocalypse is nigh, because if humans were ever truly like that with their Nuclear Bombs and dangerous items we would be long extinct.
However, there is some realistic-ness to the answers that weren't given. The fact that Sunny, Violet & Klaus never got answers to their questions is very realistic. In real life, you can die or live on without knowing the answers to some of your life's biggest mysteries. Life itself is a mystery and you never truly know everything, do you?
PS the Movie was a load of tosh as well. Nice action scenes and stuff, but it ended so wrongly. And Pleease! - Jim Carrey as Count Olaf? Waste of time - they shouldn't even have tried to turn it into a Movie.
i actually really liked the books, and liked the fact none of it was tha realistic, espeacially when it came to the people the children had to come in contact with. it was like the human race was really, really, really simplified, and all that was left the their ignorence and greed and stuff. then again, there were good guys, too.
but i agree, i didnt like the movie very much at all.
it is a bummer that most of the questions werent answered, but i guess thats why its so unfortunate.
i thought that it standed for - volunteer fire department? am i wrong? plz tell me if i am, i dont no how i got that answer, and niwdog, i hope you dont actually believe that this story is non fiction? for one, its a childrens book, of cause it is going to be unrealistic? what else do you expect? i really enjoyed the books! they are my 2nd most favourite series apart from harry potter, and niwdog, you are obviously not a fan of the series, so plz, no one wants to hear your negativities, plz display them sumwhere else
the_bunkster: no, you're right! it stands for VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT (puzzling, huh?)A lot is a blur for me and I half regret reading the series. On one hand it could be so fustrating to read and so unrealistic whereas on the other hand... i dunno. there must be a reason why I bought them, so I must like them. I was also just hoping for my questions to be answered (which they weren't).
yeah it stands for Volunteer Fire Department. but abt the sugar bowl, i totally dunno what it is but i think in "The Ersatz Elevator" it say that Esme had blamed Beatrice for stealing the sugar bowl from her but i think lemony Snicket had stolen it or mayb there Beatrice and Lemony were in cahoots to get the sugar bowl.
I also think that Beatrice is actually Beatrice Baudelaire(Mrs. Baudelaire) and was once lemony's snicket sister bfore she married Bertrand(Mr. Baudelaire). But i still dont get it why lemony would be in love with his sister or mayb it was love, but grieve?
i have been trying to figure it out but the sugar bowl was the hardest. It was said not to be revealed. That was plain suckie. =(
