In the Autobiography it mentions more than once an Elenora Poe, most likely related to Mr. Poe, but how? Also, could she be in partnership or something with Olaf, because Elenora fired Lemony from the Daily Punctilio. She isn't Mrs. Poe because her name is Polly, it says in TBB. So what does everyone think about Elenora, could she somehow have something to do with all of the mysteries around ASOUE?

That is interesting, probaly a coincidence. It would be cool though (even though highly unlikely) if D.H. based ASOUE on a real story.

He does use literary refrences. We just don't notice them.

besides the fire that it mentions, it also mentions Daniel, as well as many other similarities to ASoUE

oh it's always so fun to find the literary references used. a lot of shakespear is used (i shan't give anything away). but he also uses historic names. like coach genghis.... anyone remember hearing of genghis kahn while they weren't asleep in history class? there is a lot concerning his references at www.quidditch.com/lemony%20snicket.htm so if your interested you can check it out.

Speaking of literary references, I was thinking the other day that Madame Lulu's ploy of only being able to answer a question a day kind of reaches back to the way the Princess told a story every night to delay death in 1001 Arabian Nights. She didn't delay long enough to save herself, though.

An interesting conclusion, but is that supported with evidence. The last I can figure out about her is that she was locked in the basement of The Daily Punctilio.
