Baudelaire family
The Baudelaire family ( ) is one of several prominent fictional families created by American author Lemony Snicket for his novel series, ''A Series of Unfortunate Events''. The Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus and Sunny, are the protagonists of the series.
==Concept and creation==
Snicket named the Baudelaires after French macabre poet Charles Baudelaire. The French surname ''Baudelaire'' ( in English), historically also recorded as ''Badelaire'' and ''Bazelaire'', refers to a short sword or knife used as a heraldic blazon: Thomas Nugent, in his ''Pocket-Dictionary of the French and English Languages'' (1808), translated ''baudelaire'' as a "short, broad, and curved sword" used in heraldry; Thomas Dudley Fosbroke, in his ''Encyclopædia of Antiquities'' (1825), described the baudelaire as a "little portative knife" used as a medieval English blazon; W. T. Cosgrave described it as a "short and broad backsword, being towards the point like a Turkish scymitar." The French word ''baudelaire'' comes from Medieval Latin ''bādelārius'', ''bādelāris'', or ''bādārellus'',〔 meaning a "kind of short sword" (''ensis brevis species'').〔
Despite the apparently Romantic origin of "Baudelaire," Snicket stated in February 2007 that "the Baudelaires are Jewish! I guess we would not know for sure but we would strongly suspect it," citing their "manner" as an indicator. Snicket elaborated: "I think there is something naturally Jewish about unending misery. () I'm Jewish so, by default, the characters I create are Jewish, I think."〔
