Average Violet Baudelaire Quiz | 10 Questions | For Children

Answer: To marry her

Count Olaf's first of many schemes to inherit the Baudelaire fortune involves marrying Violet in the ironically-named play "The Marvelous Marriage". It's said to be written by Al Funcoot when it's actually written by Count Olaf. For Olaf and Violet to be legally wed, the bride has to say "I do", the bride and groom have to be in the presence of a judge (who ends up being Olaf's neighbour Justice Strauss), and the bride has to sign a legal document in her own hand. Violet signs the document in her left hand, even though her own hand is her right, and this leads to the marriage being declaring void.

However, the Baudelaires are unfortunate to have Count Olaf and his assistants escape before they are arrested.

Answer: Olaf crashes into Mr. Poe's car.

Count Olaf murders Uncle Monty and plans to take his place on a trip to Peru. This way it would be harder to track Olaf down. The plan looks to be a success, but they crash into Mr. Poe's car. (Mr. Poe was driving to Uncle Monty's house to bring over the Baudelaires' luggage.)
After learning Monty has been killed, Mr. Poe suggests calling a doctor (who turned out to be one of Olaf's assistants, the one with hooks instead of hands). Olaf is revealed as Uncle Monty's murderer, the hook-handed man is exposed, and the two are able to escape before being brought to justice.
Even more unfortunate for the Baudelaires, the snakes they had loved are taken away by the Herpetological Society, so the Baudelaires don't even have the comfort of Uncle Monty's reptiles.

Answer: She is hypnotized.

Upon arriving at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill, the Baudelaires notice a letter from the owner, whom everyone calls Sir. This letter states that they are to work in the lumbermill. The Baudelaires later find out that employees are paid in coupons. However, since they have no money, coupons are of little use. For lunch (which lasts only five minutes), their only meal is gum. Each morning, the foreman wakes the employees up by banging pots and pans together.

He also insults the employees, particularly the Baudelaires, by calling them midgets and sometimes getting their names wrong. It is Klaus (not Violet) who is hypnotized, which means it is easier for the Baudelaires to cause an accident at the lumbermill. If the Baudelaires cause multiple accidents at the lumbermill, then Sir fires them and places them in the care of the receptionist, Shirley, who is actually Count Olaf in disguise. Fortunately, Olaf is once again exposed, even if he does escape, because Violet learns how to de-hypnotize Klaus, and the Baudelaires are able to leave the lumbermill (but not in the care of the evil Count). Phil, one of the employees at the lumbermill, even discovers that paying employees in coupons is illegal.

Answer: Remora

At Prufrock Preparatory School, Violet is assigned to the class of Mr. Remora where he tells boring stories. Klaus is assigned to Mrs. Bass where her class is entirely about measuring the lengths, widths, and depths of objects. Sunny is to work as an administrative assistant for Vice Principal Nero. Even more unfortunate for the Baudelaires is that their new gym teacher, Coach Genghis, is really Count Olaf in disguise. Count Olaf's plan is to have the Baudelaires run laps for hours every night.

This causes them to get tired, not pay attention in school, and let their grades slip. Olaf then plans to take the kids away from the school and into his own care. This appears to work, as Violet starts writing less down about Mr. Remora's stories, Klaus does not take as many measurements, and Sunny does virtually nothing working for Nero (not that she can do much to begin with).

A comprehensive exam is to be given and if Violet and Klaus don't get As, they will be expelled. If Sunny doesn't staple papers together using home-made staples, she will also be expelled. Nevertheless, they pass the exam/assignment, so they are not expelled. Nero isn't too pleased with this and makes them leave, though fortunately, not with Count Olaf, whose disguise is once again exposed.

Answer: Fountain

While residing in the Village of Fowl Devotees, one of the Baudelaires' daily chores is to clean a fountain shaped like a fowl. According to Hector the handyman, this fountain and the Baudelaires are the only new things to the village in a long time. Violet is able to determine that the reason for the newness of the fountain is because that is where Count Olaf is hiding Duncan and Isadora Quagmire, who had been captured in "The Austere Academy".

While the Quagmires, with the help of Hector, are able to escape the clutches of Count Olaf, the Baudelaires once again experience an unfortunate event. Even worse, Count Olaf is successful in framing the Baudelaires for the murder of a man everyone claims to be Count Olaf, but who is, in fact, merely a look-alike named Jacques Snicket. Worse still is that this is the first time Mr. Poe, the executor of the Baudelaire mansion, does not come to pick up the Baudelaires, meaning that they are on their own.

Answer: Laura V. Bleediotie

While at Heimlich Hospital, the Baudelaires learn that there is information about them in the Snicket files. Unfortunately, Olaf is after the same information, so he has his girlfriend, Esme, try to get the document. Sunny and Klaus are able to escape, but Violet isn't so fortunate. Olaf decides to kill her and make it look like an accident. Violet's name during the procedure is Laura V. Bleediotie, an anagram of Violet Baudelaire. Klaus and Sunny discover this by looking at a list of patients and deducing which one is an anagram. Klaus and Sunny are able to stop the cranioectomy. Unfortunately, they are accused of starting a fire in Heimlich Hospital, and so they must be careful to avoid capture while, at the same time, they escape the burning hospital. The book ends with Violet, Klaus, and Sunny in the trunk of Count Olaf's car.

Interestingly, the other names on the list of patients are also anagrams.
Lisa N. Lootnday is an anagram of Alison Donalty (designer for the books' cover);
Linda Rhaldeen is an anagram of Daniel Handler (real name of Lemony Snicket);
Monty Kensicle - Lemony Snicket (the author);
Eriq Bluthetts - Brett Helquist (the illustrator);
Al Brisnow - Lisa Brown (Daniel Handler's wife);
Carrie E. Abelabudite - Beatrice Baudelaire (the Baudelaires' mother);
Ruth Dercroump - Rupert Murdoch (owner of HarperCollins);
Ned H. Rirger - red herring.

Answer: She has two heads

The purpose of this carnival is to humiliate people with deformities and to view them as freaks. Prior to the Baudelaires arrival, the "freaks" are Hugo the Hunchback, Collette the Contortionist, and Kevin the Ambidextrous. Sunny disguises herself as Chabo the Wolf Baby. Violet and Klaus disguise themselves as Beverly and Elliot, a two headed "freak". Just as Count Olaf is not successful in fooling the Baudelaires, the Baudelaires are not successful in fooling Madame Lulu, the owner of the carnival and an ally of Count Olaf.

The evil Count manages to gain three new associates (Hugo, Collette, and Kevin) and kidnap Sunny.

Answer: The day is her fifteenth birthday

After escaping Mount Fraught, the Baudelaires find themselves on a submarine named the Queequeg under the command of Captain Widdershins. His mission is to find an important item known as the Sugar Bowl. Using maps, Klaus deduces the Sugar Bowl can be found in a grotto.

However, the grotto is too small for the submarine to enter. Fiona (Widdershins's step-daughter), Violet, Klaus, and Sunny all journey to the cavern but, unfortunately, Klaus's calculations are wrong and there is no Sugar Bowl (either that, or somebody else has already taken it). When the four of them return to the submarine, they find it abandoned.

They do find three red balloons: one with a V on it, another with an F, and the final with a D. After finding a cake with "Violet's Fifteenth Date" on it, they realize that Violet had her fifteenth birthday when they were stuck in the grotto and didn't even realize it.

Answer: Murder

The Baudelaires are fortunate enough to encounter an ally in the form of Dewey Denouement while staying at the Hotel Denouement. Count Olaf wants the Sugar Bowl, which is in a locked room in the hotel, and he threatens to shoot Dewey if he doesn't give the passwords to open the lock. Dewey refuses and Count Olaf shoots him with a harpoon. Because the Baudelaires are believed to be murderers, they are once again accused of murder, this time of Dewey Denouement. Fortunately, there is a trial, but unfortunately, the trial is a sham, since two of Olaf's henchmen are also judges.

The hotel gets burned down, and Count Olaf (and the Baudelaires) escape. Even more unfortunately for the Baudelaires, they are in Count Olaf's grasp having escaped with him.

Answer: No

Count Olaf and the Baudelaires are caught in a storm and when the storm dies down, they find themselves on an island. It is believed that everything lost eventually finds its way to the island. One such item is the harpoon gun Olaf possessed in the previous book but ended up losing. It is not Violet or any of the Baudelaires, but rather Ishmael, the leader of the island, who kills Count Olaf with the harpoon gun. Olaf and Ishmael have unknown history, and Ishmael wishes to end Olaf's life as he wishes he did years ago. Olaf dies a slow death.

The Baudelaires are able to put Count Olaf behind them, leave the island, and begin having a more fortunate life than the unfortunate life they have had ever since that fateful day when Mr. Poe informed them their parents perished in a fire.
