In The End, The Baudelaires find themselves on an island ruled by a man named Ishmael - which is also the name of the alleged ancestor of the Arabic people. This theory suggests that the series as a whole is made up of various Jewish themes, and that the constant wanderings of the Baudelaires reflect the plight of the Jewish people.
Olaf, the theory says, is a representation of zionism, renaming the island (Palestine) and claiming it for himself. Despite his desire and corruption, Olaf is similar to the Baudelaires in that he is an orphan looking for a safe home.
Dante, the writer of the theory, concludes: "In any case, the re-founding of the Baudelaire homeland unleashes violence, including the use of deadly biological weapons which nearly ruin the region for everyone. However, assuming that Handler really did intend all this, I am not sure which side he's taking; the morality presented in The End is often as unclear as its narration."
