Physical Appearance
In the movie Violet's hair color is different: it is colored light brown, whereas in the book her hair is dark brown or black.In the movie, her hair is also very straight, whereas in the books, it is depicted as flicking or curling towards the ends, and as occasionally curling, especially when it has not been brushed. Her clothes are different, as she wears a black dress, with the blue coat which is worn later. The dress notably has a lower sleeve with a V-shaped end, a feature which is common in science fiction, especially in space operas. Violet is described by Snicket in The Bad Beginning as having pleasant facial features, and later on as being very pretty. In the books, she wears a purple coat with her hair in a ribbon (when she is thinking of new inventions).

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or appearance:
“Whenever reality reinforces a child’s fantasied dangers, the child will have more difficulty in overcoming them...So, while parents may not regard a spanking as a physical attack or an assault on a child’s body, the child may regard it as such, and experience it as a confirmation of his fears that grown-ups under certain circumstances can really hurt you.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
