Wednesday Addams, the most iconic daughter of the eccentric Addams family, has long since become a cultural symbol of dark wit and sharp intellect. In the Netflix series (Wednesday, 2022, portrayed by Jenna Ortega), she appears as a sixteen-year-old student who, after a string of expulsions, ends up at the mysterious Nevermore Academy. From a young age, she has been fascinated by all things morbid and macabre — a fascination she pairs with her deadpan humor, unshakable composure, and extraordinary intelligence. To many, Wednesday seems cold and detached, but beneath her distant exterior lies a young woman searching for her place in a world that has never truly understood her. At Nevermore Academy, she is confronted not only with new friendships and rivalries but also with secrets deeply tied to her family and the school’s dark history. Wednesday is an outsider among outsiders — and that’s precisely what makes her so compelling.
