A Series Of Unfortunate Events sees us follow the lives of the Baudelaires as they try to figure out what, exactly, VFD is. A reddit user  posits that this quest is a metaphor for the quest for adulthood

"All the children know is that its some secret society, and they know that once they find it they'll be safe. As children that's how we view adults: members of a secret club that know almost everything. Eventually though they find the VFD and essentially become members of it, but at the same time realise it wasn't what they expected. It symbolizes the children's early transition into adulthood."
