Description :
Since her debut in 1944 through Charles Addams' illustrations in the New Yorker, Wednesday Addams was initially portrayed as a melancholic little girl with long dark braids. Her appearances alongside her father, Gomez, or her mother, Morticia, were marked by the contrast between the affection shown via the clash between the Addams family and the gloomy world they inhabited. Over the decades and numerous adaptations (films, animated series, and successful TV shows), Wednesday, while transitioning into adolescence, became the most notable member of the iconic Addams Family. Ill-suited for communal life, Wednesday Addams has a keen understanding of its workings, often surpassing the adults around her. A disruptive gothic icon, constantly in motion, she questions the homogenization of American lifestyles, sharply challenging contemporary ideologies and prejudices with her uncompromising view of daily life, delivered in a caustic yet exhilarating manner.
