"For Beatrice" - Lemony Snicket's Dedications from 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'

[@justhereforagoodtime88]

The line "I will love you as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong" is just so bittersweet and haunting.

[@sayeedakhan5369]

These dedications make me miss a person who doesn't even exist.

[@xMojaveDream]

Funnily enough, in a way, Beatrice did actually exist. The name and some motifs are taken from Dante's unrequited love, Beatrice, which can be seen in the works La Vita Nuova and the Divine Comedy.

The one that will always hit home is "For Beatrice- Our love broke my heart, and stopped yours."

For Beatrice when we were together it felt like we were six feet above the ground, but now you are six feet below.

[@jolkm8133]

Smart!

For Beatrice - I loved sitting by the fire with you next to me. I never thought I would see you in the fire.

For Beatrice - You set a fire in my heart. They set a fire in your home.

A really big clue as to who his “Beatrice” might have been; the mother of either the B’s or Q’s.

[@moviefeeder6811]

For Beatrice - I wake to you everywhere Yet you are not here

[@thunderbolt64_]

For Beatrice - Darling, dearest, dead. For Beatrice - My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not. For Beatrice - I would much prefer it of you were alive and well. For Beatrice - My love flew like a butterfly, until death swooped down like a bat. For Beatrice - You will always be in my heart, in my mind, and in your grave. For Beatrice - When we met, my life began. Soon after, yours ended. For Beatrice - When we were together, I felt breathless. Now, you are. For Beatrice - Summer without you is as cold as winter. Winter without you is even colder. For Beatrice - Our love broke my heart - And stopped yours. For Beatrice - When we met, you were pretty, and I was lonely. Now I am pretty lonely. For Beatrice - Dead women tell no tales, sad men write them down. For Beatrice - No one could extinguish my love, or your house. For Beatrice - I cherished, you perished, the world's been nightmarished.

[@thisrandomboyp7976]

These are very dark and sad puns

@AntEye Folkz777 I'm sorry?? I very much doubt there was any intention by the series or by those involved of being xenophobic or anti-semitic.
