Cast of Characters

  • Count Olaf: I think that Count Olaf is a character that has a personality of greedyness and rudeness. To proof he is greedy, in the story Count Olafs aim is mainly to have all the power of the Baudelaires fortune and be extremely rich for it. Also to proof that he is rude and mean, in the story he goes to his work, but also leaves a list of chores for the childeren and slaps them on the faces.
  • Violet Baudelaire: I think that Violet Baudelaire is a chracter that has a personality of incouarging people, is trustfull and is caring. To proof Violet is encouarging there is a part in the story where Voilet and Klaus start to loose hope, but then she starts to encourage herself and her brother and they both still have som hope left. To proof that violet is always trustful there is a pat in the story where she remembers her promise that she made with her parents that she would look after her siblings and always stay with them. Lastly to proof that Voiet is caring there is a part in the story where one of her sibling is captured in a cage a though there is danger to save him she still risks herself and goes up to save him.
  • Klaus Baudelaire: I think that Klaus Baudelaire is a character that has a personality same as Voilet, but he is also helpful. To prof that he is helpful in the story there is a part where he stays awake all night just to see if he can seek any help from the book of laws.
  • Sunny Baudelaire: I think that the authour just encluded Sunny Baudelaire as a character beacause he wanted the story to have a little mixture of happyness and sadness so he thought maybe a maybe would make it fun scince younger kids impress stories in which you need some laughter.
  • Mr. Poe: I think that the main role of Mr. Poe in the story was to help the Baudelaire kids to get out of troubles and help solve them.
  • Justice Strauss: I thik that the main role of Justice Strauss was also to help the Baudelaire kids to get out of trouble and help solve them, but it wasn't her who helped it was her liabrary of every kinds of books.
  • Beatrice: Add a description of this character.
