Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) On The Similarities Between Detectives And Femme Fatales:

Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) on the similarities between detectives and femme fatales:

The detective and the femme fatale are both doing the exact same thing in a noir story: They’re both confined by their circumstances, and they’re both making their own moral path through a world that is sinister and secretive. … A femme fatale is a showgirl or the displaced daughter of a tycoon or a girl who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and will do anything not to return there, and a detective often has similar circumstances. … [I]t’s what draws them together and also what makes them fight. And once I realized that – that they were really doing the same thing – I saw a way that you could put that in a children’s book. You could have a detective and a mysterious young girl who are birds of feather and who can’t stand one another and who are unapologetic about making their way in a world that seems to have no place for them.
