However, the two Beatrices, despite sharing a name, are clearly separate individuals, and while Lemony Snicket's letters are plainly written beginning from his childhood and ending shortly before Violet Baudelaire is born, the Beatrice writing to Snicket is apparently writing after the events of The End.
In this context, it becomes apparent that despite sharing a name, the two Beatrices are separate individuals. Lemony Snicket's letters, which cover his childhood and pre-Violet Baudelaire era, offer a clear chronology. Conversely, the Beatrice writing to Snicket is seen as having written her letter after the events of The End.
