Meet the wide-eyed teen everyone adores at the moment, Wednesday Addams
Wednesday Addams has lately witnessed an unparalleled increase in popularity as a result of the release of Netflix's Wednesday. Tim Burton's amazing gothic imagination has created a new Addams Family adaptation centred around Wednesday (Jenna Ortega).
The TV show set the record for the most watched series on Netflix in a single week, proving that Wednesday is the ideal Addams family figure for their own show. With her penchant for the macabre, abhorrence of emotion, and streak of independence, she defies expectations of what women should be. Wednesday is a timeless gothic heroine.
Wednesday, on the other hand, has been around long before Ortega expertly depicted her. Wednesday has a lengthy history, both on and off the screen. She has been around for almost 84 years, along with her grotesque family. In America, the Addamses have all become household names. While they began as cartoons in which Charles Addams expressed his own dark humour and appreciation of the odd, they evolved into something more over time.
Wednesday Addams is a cartoon character created by Charles Addams. She didn't have a name when she was initially created, nor did any of the Addamses. Beginning in the 1930s, Addams featured them as nameless characters in The New Yorker. The lone daughter of the morbid family was among these nameless people. Addams meant for her to be around 13 years old and to have six toes on one foot. Meanwhile, he characterised her as "a sad youngster, neat in attire, and generally fairly lost."
When plans to convert Addams' comics into the 1964 television show The Addams Family were announced, he was charged with coming up with names for all of his characters. Wednesday's name was eventually coined by poet and actress Joan Blake. The name is inspired by the nursery song "Monday's Child," which forecasts a child's temperament depending on their birth date. As a result, Addams' pale-faced, melancholy infant was called Wednesday because "Wednesday's child is full of sadness." Wednesday was created by Addams as a forlorn, pallid kid with six toes, but it was the performers who characterised her throughout the years.
While Wednesday was invented by Addams, the character has developed dramatically over the years, shaped and defined by the seven various women who voiced or represented Wednesday in the multiple Addams Family adaptations. Lisa Loring was the first actress to play Wednesday, and while being young and innocent, she was one of the first to capture the sorrow that was unusual for such a young child. Meanwhile, Wednesday was given a "ancient soul" by Debi Derryberry, while Nicole Fugere was given terrifying, terrible qualities.
