what century is a series of unfortunate events set in???

Question

1920,1930s???when????

Answer 1

I think the Series of Unfortuante Events are set in the 2000's, or maybe the 1900's somewhere, since Violet and Aunt Josephine wore dresses in the books and all. I don't know, actually.

Answer 2

It's Victorian Era- turn of the century, early 1900's. It's purposely left ambiguous, but by the inventions that Violet makes, there is no computer technology involved- really only physics, not even other branches of science. They have cars, but early versions. The best clues you have are the style of clothes the characters wear in the illustrations, which are very much early 1900. The books, anyway, I have no idea about the movie.

Answer 3

this is an imaginary period. By the vehicles and trains that are shown in the film, I would estimate the time period to be the 1940's. At the same time the vehicle has power door locks controlled by a remote which were not invented and put into use until the late 1960's or later. There is no good answer to your question.

Answer 4

The 19th century and the 1930's.

Answer 5

i don't really know...but i think someone ahead of me has got it right

"The books seem to be set in an alternate, "timeless"[8] version of Earth with stylistic similarities to both the 19th century and the 1930s, though with contemporary, and seemingly anachronistic scientific knowledge. "

Answer 6

Since you only asked what century and not year. I have to say the 20th century.
