>Are the Baudelaires Jewish?>Oh yeah! Yes. The Baudelaires are Jewish! I guess we would not know for sure but we would strongly suspect it, not only from their manner but from the occasional mention of a rabbi or bar mitzvah or synagogue. The careful reader will find quite a few rabbis.>Has the series been influenced by Jewish history?>I think there is something naturally Jewish about unending misery, yes. I mean, I guess naturally but not exclusively Jewish. I’m Jewish so, by default, the characters I create are Jewish, I think. Then I think I have something of a Jewish sensibility shaped by having a Jewish upbringing and so, therefore, books that I produce would be somewhat Jewish in tone.https://momentmag.com/jewish-secrets-lemony-snicket/

Half way through watching the TV series for the first time, like a month ago, i realized these books were 100% made to be products at a scholastic book fair.There actually quite terrible, even for kids books, and the TV series didn't scratch the itch of either a musical or a dark quirky troubadour play.The entire time i was just disassociating from the show imagining myself as Violet's brother having a "Flowers in the Attic" taboo incestuous relationship as we get shipped around to new places, trying to find somewhere to hide and have hot sweaty passionate sibling sex.
>>223826452Okay, and why should I give a fuck?

>>223826677So it took you 12 episodes to realise these were children's books?
>>223826768Why even bother replying if you just make a strawman of what i said to have a little drive-by insult? Considering that's mathematically the best way to encourage engagement, therefore derive more information to make algorithm models more accurate - your behaviour can be summed up as bot behaviour. If you're a human whose been habituated into posting like a bot, then that's just sad.
>>223826452I forgive Violet for her jewishness
>>223826452No they are not. Also "Baudelaire" is absolutely not a jewish name
>>223826452I didn't realize this was a sad occasion
