Character Sketcher




1)  Character Trait:  LAZY  (Page 134,  Paragraph 2)
Explanation of Trait: “But at the desk, asleep in a chair, was a person so massive that it looked like a enormous blob was in the shack, snoring away with a bottle of beer in one hand and a ring of keys in the other.”

2) Character Trait: Hideous (Page 134, Paragraph 2)
Explanation of Trait:  “What frightened Violent was that you couldn’t tell if this person was a man or woman.”

3) Character Trait: Frightening (Page 140, Paragraph 4)
Explanation of Trait: “Without a word the mountainous person grabbed Violet by the hair, and with one swing of its arm lifted her up over its smelly shoulder the way you might carry a backpack.”

Character Goal:
Count Olaf’s comrade’s (the one who looks like neither a man nor a woman) goal is to help Count Olaf seize the Baudelaire’s orphans so he can acquire the Baudelaire’s fortune.

Problem: Count Olaf’s comrade’s problem is that the Baudelaire orphans are in better physical shape than he and they escaped from him.  Another problem that he has is that no one can obtain the Baudelaire’s fortune except Violet and not even she can obtain it now, she has to wait until she is old enough.

Solution: A possible solution is that Count Olaf’s comrade could seize the children and hurt them later on and somehow convince Mr. Poe to put them under his care, so that he can get their money.
