Talk:The Beatrice Letters

message: To clarify, the object in the cave ont he poster that comes with The Beatrice Letters is not a spatula, but Sunny's whisk (Which she receives from Friday in The End. Although, as "everything washes up here eventually", the spatulas could be there as well.
Due to this, I don't know if I should change the last(ish) paragraph which states the above.

thread_title:  The Item on the Poster 

message: I've just read it. The poster shows a hair ribbon, broken glasses, and a spatula, in the seas, and the shipwrecked ship is there too! Also Beatrice is 10 during the series, and she is the Baudelaires SIBLING!!!Sunny somehow gets on the radio, eventually Beatrice gets to the Baudelaires, and probably the reason why snicket writes about the Baudelaires is because Beatrice Sank, meaning that she died, and he is writing about her three siblings! Someone put this into article form!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Starwarskid (talk • contribs) .
There's no way of knowing that. First off, she couldn't of died at the shipwreck. She mentions in a letter that Klaus said she saved his life shortly after the destruction of the Hotel. That would mean it will take place in the last volume. And since she's obviously alive to write a letter talking about that, she couldn't of drowned. Lemony wouldn't write it because of this Beatrice. He investigates the areas first then writes the books. He wouldn't be able to know if this Beatrice was killed and write as far back as the first book. He was unaware of the fact that there were two Beatrice Bauldelaires. The last letter he wrote to his editor, stated that he just recently found out there were two. The mother was probably Beatrice also. In the book, there's a telegram that goes to BB. Then it says, Dear Mrs. Bauldelaire. The mother was probably Beatrice and she named a fourth child after her. That child probably got seperated or kidnapped and put in V.F.D. Then she wants to find her sibling. You have to also remeber Lemony was in love with Beatirce and they grew up together. So the Beatrice that is dead is the reason why he wrote the books. Probably because she died in the Bauldelaire fire and then wrote accounts on her children unaware that there was still a fourth one out there. But only if she is the mother which would make alot of sense and fill in the gaps.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.115.34.186 (talk • contribs) .
:I don't know where you guys got the idea of a fourth Baudelaire sibiling. That's Crazy! One beatrice is the Mother, the other is in the End.

replies: text: Yeah uhm, I'm pretty sure the baudelaires would've known if there was another sibling. Even the quagmires did, though Quigley, they thought, was just lost in the fire. 68.227.186.156 01:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: INFO

message: It should be mentioned that the letters can also be formed to make "Bear A Snicket," hence, either Kit Snicket did bear a younger Snicket (i.e. her daughter, the younger Beatrice), or the Baudelair orphans bared, or raised, this said child. --71.109.37.168 08:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Anagram 

message: It's clear (to me at least) that the letters are not arranged in the same order as they were "written". Furthermore, I think that both Beatrices have written these letters. It seems to me that the last letter was a reply of sorts to Lemony's first letter, as it appears they are both in the same restaurant. I'd give more evidence for my views, if I actually owned the collection in question. --ArtifexCrastinus 02:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree; each series of letters (the ones to Beatrice, and the ones from Beatrice) follow a clear narrative. The last calling card is also inconsistent with Lemony's first, as they would be meeting in entirely different places, and it also bears the location "Rhetorical Building," which is of course where the younger Beatrice has set up shop at the end of the book.
My first impression after reading Letters (before The End was released) was that the rumor that a Baudelaire parent had survived the fire has correct, and that she, Beatrice Baudelaire, would eventually reunite with her children through the detective work of Mr. Snicket, her former love interest. They would rescue the "orphans" from Olaf's clutches; Snicket would finally marry the love of his life, and have the family would have a nice life after that. Of course, I knew it couldn't be exactly like that, because after all, Lemony promised us all a sad, horrid ending; but I was under the impression that it would in fact be a humorously exaggerated pessimistic view of the whole story (e.g. mention of how horrible the circumstances {be them bad neighbors, jobs, schooling, food, etc.} were for them), so it would be interpreted as a "sorta" unhappy ending. I never had any clue about a second Beatrice until the very end in the "Letter to the Editor".Even then, of course, it made no sense to me. I suppose if I had reread it enough I would, but I didn't. It wasn't until "The End" that I understood at least some of the stuff surrounding Beatrice II.
Anyway.... that's what I thought. How does that compare with what you guys think/thought? --ArtifexCrastinus 06:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Beatriceletters.jpg

message: At the end of The End, Kit Snicket says that her family names their children after the dead and Violet says that her family does that too. Does that mean that the Violet, Klaus and Sunny in this book could be another Violet, Klaus and Sunny. I'm just speculating and was wondering wether to include this in the article or if I'm missing something 667DarkAve (talk) 07:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I read this several times, and couldn't make head nor tail of it. The "The Letters" Section is missing several words so it doesn't make sense!
