In Monty and Josephine's case, though, it makes some sense-- in the books, Uncle Monty is said to be the children's ""late father's cousin's wife's brother" and Josephine is said to be their "second cousin's sister-in-law", both very obscure relations. There is a very good chance that neither they nor Olaf, either in the books or the series, are actually ''related'' to the Baudelaire children. Keep in mind that all of them were part of the same organization at one point, one that the elder Baudelaires were a big deal in.

They aren't nearly as paper-thin as they are in the books, where he basically just throws a dodgy fake mustache or a turban on and is apparently good to go - in the film, he clearly had to have gone through some effort to make the disguises at least halfway-believable, so it also raises the question of how the Baudelaires can even see through them to begin with.

Given that, all the stuff above, the fact that Violet seems much more prone to having breakdowns after the eighth book (PTSD, much?), and how much more smug Olaf acts around the children, Olaf may have done more than just changed her clothes while he had her in his clutches.

It can also be translated as "Remember Your Mortality", which also indicates that you aren't anything more than a human. Which means that if you are a troublemaker (or if the teachers see you as one) you can - and will - be broken down, by any gruesome means possible.
** In the eighth book "The Hostile Hospital", the eponymous hospital is set on fire with the Baudelaire siblings still inside. "Mattathias" (Count Olaf) orders everyone to catch the children... before getting the patients out of the burning hospital.
*** Not mention the fact that it was ambiguous as to if any of the patients got out. In fact, it didn't describe ANYBODY getting out.
**** Same for [[spoiler:the hotel fire]] in ''The Penultimate Peril. [[spoiler:While the children do warn everyone to escape, the narrator himself says the he doesn't know who survived and who didn't. Also, everyone was afraid to [[ItMakesSenseInContext take off their blindfolds]], so even if anyone did try to escape, they'd be stumbling around blind. While the entire building is burning down.]]

* In ''The Penultimate Peril'', either Frank or Ernest uses Sebald Code upon the ringing of a bell to ask the Baudelaires [[spoiler:I can't tell if you are associates or enemies please respond]]. But even if the Baudelaires had known Sebald Code, they ''still'' wouldn't have been able to respond correctly because 1) the message gives no clue as to which twin it is, and 2) both sides of the schism know the codes.

* ''ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'': In ''The Bad Beginning'' 14 year old Violet is being forced to marry the much older Olaf who is her guardian (in a play so no one will object to her being so young) because he has her sister Sunny and will kill her if she doesn't, all so he can have her fortune. However, this becomes {{Squick}}y when you consider all the lines he throws around about how pretty she is and how "You may not be my wife, but you are still my daughter". He also decides that he'll let her live even after he has the fortune. In the next book he has a knife to her THIGH under the table. This implies that he intends to rape her.
** And don't forget the line, "Violet imagined sleeping beside Count Olaf, and waking up each morning to look at this terrible man." Handler must have known what that would imply to his older readers. Then there's this line "Now if you'll excuse us, me and my bride will be off to have our wedding night..." This indicates that rather than just the money he's possibly interested in Violet [[ParentalIncest in that way]] as well. This coming from a psychopathic criminal who looks like an old man, and who was most likely behind the fire that burned down her house and killed her parents, just makes the implications even creepier.
** When the hook-handed man has Violet cornered in the tower during the rescue attempt for Sunny. —>"Yes, boss. Yes, boss, of course I understand she's yours, boss." The emphasis is the author's. It sure seems like Olaf has to order the hook man not to rape her because he plans to do it first.
*** For that matter, quite a lot of Olaf's incredibly creepy group of sidekicks (most of whom are male) describe Violet as being very pretty. One such time is in ''The Hostile Hospital'', where [[spoiler:they comment on how pretty Violet is while she is unconscious, StrappedToAnOperatingTable, and about to have her head sawed off (which they remember, given that they comment also about how smart she is and how it will do her little good in a short while).]] Erm...
** In the fifth book "The Austere Academy" the school's motto is Latin that literally translates out to "Remember You Will Die". It can also be translated as "Remember Your Mortality", which also indicates that you aren't anything more than a human. Which means that if you are a troublemaker (or if the teachers see you as one) you can - and will - be broken down, by any gruesome means possible.
