Who is Wednesday Addams?
One of the characters in the Addams Family comics and television show is Wednesday Addams. She is Pugsley Addams’ sister and the child of Gomez and Morticia Addams. Wednesday is described as being gloomy, dreary, and dark. Wednesday is a little girl who is fascinated by dark and macabre things. She is frequently referred to as the “Goth girl” or “scary kid.” Wednesday has a mischievous side and is frequently observed planning mischief or pulling pranks on her family and friends, despite the fact that she seems to be a sweet and innocent young child.
Attending funerals gives Wednesday the opportunity to indulge in her passion for all things gloomy and macabre. Christina Ricci portrayed Wednesday in the Addams Family films; Jenna Ortega will take her place in this version.
