Josephine Anwhistle is Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire's second cousin's sister-in-law, and becomes their guardian in The Wide Window.[1]
Biography
Josephine's husband Ike was eaten by the Lachrymose leeches.
The orphans refer to her as Aunt Josephine, simply because Josephine herself had told them to. She meets Captain Sham, who is really Count Olaf in disguise, and starts a 'romantic' relationship with him. Josephine later answers the phone, and it's Captain Sham. She tells the children to leave the room because Captain Sham is planning a "surprise" for the children. When the children leave the room they find a suicide note and the wide window is broken, and so they assume she was forced to commit suicide. The children later find out that the suicide note is actually a hidden message, that reads 'Curdled Cave'. The children then go to Curdled Cave to rescue Josephine, and to bring Olaf to justice (by using Josephine as proof). Unfortunately, Mrs. Anwhistle ate a banana when the orphans were sailing to Curdled Cave, and so on the ride back (as she hadn't waited an hour) the leeches attacked. Captain Sham came to "rescue" them, and threw Josephine to the leeches. Later a tattered life jacket is found, and it is believed she was eaten.
Personality
Josephine Anwhistle is cowardly, overprotective, extremely paranoid, and perhaps slightly insane. She is afraid of nearly everything in her house (such as the welcome mat, stove, and doorknobs). One of her worst fears however, is realtors, which is an irrational fear.
Her fears stem as a possible result of her husband's passing causing her to be scared by even the most common household appliances, and finding ridiculous, yet possible (and also highly unlikely) reasons as to why they are dangerous (such as the refrigerator crushing someone, or a visitor tripping over a welcome mat and breaking their neck). Ironically, many of her fears actually occur during the film adaptation during the sequence where her house is being destroyed by a hurricane.
Behind the Scenes
- In the film, Josephine was portrayed by Meryl Streep.
