American artist Charles Addams developed the Addams Family multimedia property, which features Wednesday Addams as a character. Usually depicted as a melancholy and emotionally withdrawn youngster enthralled with the macabre, she is easily recognised by her pale complexion and black bunches.
Numerous actresses have played Wednesday in a variety of motion pictures and television shows. These include Lisa Loring in The Addams Family (1964–1966) and Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977); Christina Ricci in The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993); Nicole Fugere in Addams Family Reunion (1998), the television series The New Addams Family (1998–1999), and Jenna Ortega in Wednesday (2022), a streaming television series.
Wednesday Addams Origin:
The New Yorker cartoons, which debuted in 1938, featured anonymous members of the Addams family. Wednesday Addams, as the figure would come to be known, had his debut in a drawing published in The New Yorker on August 26, 1944, with the phrase, “Well, don’t come whining to me.” Proceed to warn him that you will poison him again.” The nursery rhyme “Wednesday’s child is full of woe” from Monday’s kid inspired Charles Addams to name Wednesday when the characters were created for the 1964 television series. The name originated with Charles Addams’s friend, actress and poet Joan Blake.[1] Wednesday is Pugsley Addams’ sister and the lone child of Gomez and Morticia Addams. She is shown as the younger sister in earlier versions, and Wednesday is portrayed as the older Addams kid in subsequent adaptations.
Wednesday Addams Physical attributes and disposition:
Wednesday Addams is a normal young girl—she is roughly six in the original series, thirteen in the two original and animated films, and fifteen and sixteen in the Netflix series—who is portrayed as intelligent and has a fascination with death. For “fun” or as a form of punishment, Wednesday conducts the majority of her experiments on her brother Pugsley Addams. Although Wednesday has repeatedly attempted to kill Pugsley, it has been demonstrated that she cares about him. She likes to study the Bermuda Triangle and raise spiders. Her gothic personality often makes her the centre of attention.
Wednesday’s long, dark braided bunches and pale complexion are her most striking traits. She is usually resentful and seldom expresses her feelings. She frequently looks forward with lifeless, vacant eyes and rarely modifies her face. Wednesday often dons a black dress, black shoes, and black stockings with a white collar. Because she was born on Friday the 13th, she keeps her middle name of “Friday” in both the TV show and the Netflix series.
She plays a sweet-natured counterpoint to her brother’s and parents’ strange behaviour in the 1960s series; in addition to becoming a dancer, her favourite pastime is rearing spiders. In the pilot episode of the TV show, she is mentioned as being six years old. Her brother guillotines Wednesday’s Marie Antoinette doll, which is her favourite toy (at her desire). She also writes a poem about her favourite pet spider, Homer, and paints drawings, one of which has trees with human heads. Wednesday has surprising strength; she uses a judo hold to take down her father. She loves to be sad, is fascinated with the macabre and death, but she also has a nice disposition, frequently grins and dances, and has a mild dislike of pain.
She plays a more sinister role in the 1991 movie. She exhibits dark, sardonic tendencies and sadistic tendencies. It is also revealed that she has a fascination with the Bermuda Triangle, which has persisted throughout the adaptations, and that she is incredibly fond of Great Aunt Calpurnia Addams, an ancestor who was burned at the stake in 1706 for witchcraft. She was much more evil in the 1993 follow-up, as she attempted to guillotine her infant brother Pubert, buried a live kitten, put Camp Chippewa on fire, and maybe even terrified fellow camper Joel to death.
Wednesday’s looks and appetite for darkness and cruelty are retained in the 1990s animated series and Canadian TV series The New Addams Family. It is implied that Wednesday had her parents’ permission to tie Pugsley to a chair and torment him with an ice pick and branding iron. No one is permitted to touch Wednesday’s bunches in the animated series from the 1990s.
Unlike her previous appearances where she wore long braids, Wednesday, the character in The Addams Family Broadway musical, is eighteen years old and has short hair. Her psychotic tendencies and darkness have subsided, and she has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, with whom she has now been shown to be engaged. Wednesday is older than Pugsley in the show.
Wednesday Addams, in the web series Adult Wednesday Addams, reclaims her dark, sociopathic, and sadistic side, as well as her long braids, connecting with the events and depictions of the movies and the original cartoons—though, like in the originals, any actual horrific acts are only implied and may or may not occur off-camera. This Wednesday is about adjusting to life as an adult after leaving her family’s house.[3]
In the animated 2019 version of the same name, Wednesday continues to be cruel and heartless as she torments a school bully and tries to bury Pugsley. She is, nonetheless, tired with her spooky and isolated existence and longs to travel, despite Morticia’s disapproval of her gothic oddity. This causes her to become friends with Parker Needler, and the two adopt many of each other’s characteristics. Wednesday wears bright clothing at one point, but she eventually decides she prefers to dress in darker hues; in the 2021 follow-up, it is revealed that she also enjoys science projects. She has a pet squid named Socrates and frequently feels cut off from the rest of her family because of her oddities. Eventually, she comes to understand that being unique is “the most Addams-y thing to be” and learns to embrace her uniqueness. In the first movie, her braided bunches terminate in nooses, while in the second, they end in weights.

Wednesday, the lead character of Netflix’s Wednesday series, aspires to be a detective. Her passion is writing books, especially dark mystery tales. She tries to get her writings published, but they are deemed too morbid and disturbing. Wednesday’s interests outside of writing include fencing and playing the cello. She is also fluent in Italian and German. Wednesday is said to be allergic to all colours but black, white, and grey. While she keeps her normally impersonal demeanour, she begins to display more explicit affection for her brother and develops a friendship with the colourful werewolf Enid along the course of the series. In the series, Wednesday possesses psychic skills and uses touch to discern significant details about a person’s history or destiny. Wednesday is a “Raven” because to her talents as she frequently sees bad things. As a result, she isolates herself from the others since she doesn’t think she can trust them, but during the series, she comes to trust them. Having comparable powers, her mother refers to herself as a “Dove” since, in contrast to Wednesday’s visions, hers are often pleasant. She tells Wednesday that their psychic visions are dependent on their own mood. Wednesday’s distant ancestor Goody Addams, a “witch of great strength” with comparable psychic abilities, also has a similar look to Wednesday.
