Count Olaf wants the Baudelair's huge fortune.

Olaf sets the Baudelaire mansion alight, and Mr and Mrs Baudelaire are killed in the blaze.
Count Olaf is greedy because he tries to steal the Baudelaire orphans' fortune.
In this book series called A Series of Unfortunate Events, there are three siblings called Violet Baudelaire, Klaus Baudelaire, and Sunny Baudelaire (ordered from oldest to youngest). These children are very noble: they are charming, intelligent, and kind. Their parents are also millionaires. In the beginning of the book, they are on a beach called Briny Beach when a friend of their parents, Mr. Poe, shows up and informs the children that their house and their parents had perished in a terrible fire. They are then moved to a new guardian. This man is called Count Olaf, and the children learn early on that he is an evil, crooked man that is also smart and who aspires to claim the Baudelaire Fortune. When the oldest Baudelaire (Violet) comes to the age of eighteen, she would've been old enough to claim the money that their dead parents had left their children. However, her guardian also would've been able to draw upon that money, and this was why Count Olaf tried to stay her guardian. Throughout the series, Count Olaf dresses up in ridiculous disguises to fool them, but the Baudelaires always outwit him just in time. The adults around the Baudelaires are usually too stupid/nasty/dull to realize that the siblings desperately need their help. Throughout this series, they continuously outwit Count Olaf and learn about a mysterious organization called V.F.D. that their parents were members of (Volunteer Fire Department). The forces that are struggling in this book series are: #1: The Baudelaire Orphans. They are struggling against Olaf and his constant scheming to snatch their fortune. #2: Count Olaf. He is struggling against the orphans (who keep outwitting him) in his quest to capture the Baudelaires and steal their fortune. So the struggle, in the end is: The Baudelaires don't want Count Olaf to steal their fortune and they want him to just leave them alone (Footnote: After Count Olaf draws out the fortune from the bank, he plans to murder the siblings because they would no longer be any use to him. Thankfully though, he never gets to this point.) But Count Olaf wants the fortune. The struggle is for the money: Could Count Olaf outwit the siblings? I hope that helps ^_^
