The Ersatz Elevator
How does the atmosphere on Dark Avenue mirror the orphans' feelings in Chapter One?
.
.
The atmosphere of Dark Avenue is one of gloom and darkness. The orphans' lives have been plunged into a gloomy dark place literally and symbolically. The address, 667 Dark Avenue, is a play on the number 666, which many consider to be an evil number. So the effect of gloom and darkness continues to mirror the hopelessness of the Baudelaire orphans.
