She was definitely a bit more clever than Olaf was, at least in her first appearance, but she gave a few hints. "Even though I am unbelievably wealthy" was meant to lure them into a false sense of comfort because she wouldn't need their fortune, and "let's stop talking about depressing things like people getting kidnapped" was meant to keep them away from finding the Quagmires. Just a couple things, anyway

[@AnUnbotheredQueen]

She is an alert on children(and adults as well) why we should give value more for reading, ethics and not so much for financial wealth, bourgeoisie's "in" lifestyle with vague pleasures. yet they pull off it without the typical misogynistic depiction of golddigger thankfully. I've seen a lot of people just like her (but less extreme) outside the show, in fact I've just seen them today so, the message is *unfortunate*ly what we need in our life full of people who will do anything for their selfish greed.

I'm just gonna say it. Esme was a way more fun/engaging character to watch than Olaf (or any of the other villains). And that's huge props to Lucy Punch for her own spin on Esme because I found Esme somewhat bland and one dimensional in the books. She (and her soundtrack/theme) are honestly one of my favorite parts of the series.

[@bananamanchester4156]

Allow me to play Devil's advocate for a moment here. Esme only wanted the sugar bowl to complete her tea-set. She didn't want the CONTENTS of the sugar bowl. Therefore, if Beatrice and Lemony had simply moved the contents of the sugar bowl into a different container, then Esme would have had her completed tea set, and would therefore have never indulged in a life of villany and revenge. Beatrice and Lemony Snicket were entirely at fault for the Schism and for the Series of Unfortunate Events that followed!!!
