one thing i really admire about a series of unfortunate events is its restraint. this is a narrative that is not going to tell you everything, but will hint at the wider world. what's the story of the white-faced women? what's up with the man with a beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard? what were the baudelaire parents actually like? there's stories there and you can understand parts of it from the clues you're given, but ultimately so much is left a mystery, and the narrative is stronger for it
