Ishmael repeatedly keeps offering the cordial to the Baudelaires, despite that they repeatedly decline because they think it tastes strange. They toast with the coconut cordial which everybody carries, but which the Baudelaires dislike. Ishmael says, "Let's drink a toast to the Baudelaire orphans!" despite them not mentioning their lost parents, foreshadowing he knows more about the Baudelaires than he's letting on. Ishmael is chair-ridden and claims his feet are injured.Īfter the Baudelaires introduce themselves, Friday suggests a toast to the Baudelaires which her mother, Miranda Caliban, agrees to. Although Ishmael (He prefers Ish) always tells the islanders "I won't force you," it soon becomes apparent that his decisions go largely unquestioned and his suggestions are obeyed like orders. The island facilitator, Ishmael, introduces the Baudelaires to the Islanders and their customs. However they are welcomed onto the island by a girl named Friday Caliban, while Count Olaf is shunned(Having tried to force Friday to call him king, even pointing the harpoon gun at her). Olaf orders the Baudelaires to sail to the nearest luxury car dealership, which they know is ridiculous because they are stranded in the middle of the ocean.Īfter a storm, the Baudelaires and Count Olaf become shipwrecked on an island.

The book opens with Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire, and Count Olaf trapped on a boat heading away from the Hotel Denouement and to the sea. PlotĬount Olaf narcissistically renames the boat after himself.


Lemony Snicket Dedication For Beatrice– I cherished, you perished, The world's been nightmarished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so THE END does not finish you. It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents. The end of THE END is the best place to begin THE END, because if you read THE END from the beginning of the beginning of THE END to the end of the end of THE END, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of THE END.
