There were a lot of unanswered questions in the last book. What are some, and what do you think the answers are to them? Let's use this space to discuss the mysteries of the books. :)

.
to many unanswered questions!!!!

yeah! but i don't get your last question! Why would he die?

Death(?)

Mr. Poe was staying at the Hotel Denouement- investigating the robbery of his bank by Mrs. Bass - when it was burned down during The Penultimate Peril, but it is unknown whether he escaped. Also, some people believe he is killed or will be killed with a harpoon gun, with evidence drawn from The Penultimate Peril - Snicket says "it wasn't Mr. Poe's destiny to be killed by a harpoon gun, at least not this evening in particular." This could mean that Mr. Poe will be killed by a harpoon gun on some other occasion or simply he just did not die on this occasion. It may also merely be Lemony Snicket's pessimistic writing style - the books offer no further information. In The End, Mr. Poe does not appear, but an islander called Sadie seems to know Mr. Poe and of his occupation.


i dont kno if he did. thats why its a question..theres talk that he did

AH! I forgot ;'[, thx!

what is the first???

EGG OR CHICKEN........

well...that's an unanswered question too...!

Is Lemony Snickett actually Violet, Klaus, and Sunny's dad?

I doubt it because Lemony Snicket appears to be writing shortly after the time period. I also don't think that the Beatrice that Lemony Snicket refers to is actually the mother of Violer, Klaus, and Sunny. In page thirteen of the Snicket file Violet, Klaus, and Sunny see both of their parents. There is also a man with his back turned. I am guessing that this is Lemony Snicket. In the TV show he is also separate from the parents in the photo of Paltryville. The TV show was also written by Daniel Handler, so it's probably pretty accurate.

I doubt that the mystery of the sugar bowl was ever intended to be answered because it is a literary allusion to Moby Dick.
