"Wednesday": Reimagining Gothic Classic for a New Generation

 * The series "Wednesday", released by Netflix, has become a true phenomenon, captivating millions of viewers worldwide.    * At the heart of the series is the character of Wednesday Addams, known to everyone, daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams, but in a new, modern interpretation.    * The purpose of this presentation is to explore the series "Wednesday" as a cultural phenomenon, to examine its plot features, key characters, visual style, and its impact on modern pop culture. We will also discuss why this series resonates so strongly with the audience and what makes it so memorable.    * We will immerse ourselves in the world of Nevermore Academy, get to know its inhabitants, and uncover the secrets that this dark but fascinating world hides.

Welcome to Nevermore: A School for the "Special"

* Wednesday Addams, expelled from a regular school for a rebellion against bullying (the episode with piranhas in the pool), is sent to Nevermore Academy - a school for "special" children, where her parents once studied.    * Nevermore is a unique place where representatives of various supernatural races study: vampires, werewolves, sirens, gorgons, psychics, and other "outcasts" of society. The school provides them with the opportunity to develop their abilities, learn to control their strength, and find their place in the world.    * However, Nevermore hides dark secrets: ancient prophecies, mysterious rituals, and a threat looming over students and teachers. Wednesday has not only to adapt to the new environment but also to unravel these secrets, using her unique abilities and intelligence.    * The events of the series unfold in the picturesque but sinister town of Jericho, Vermont, which is closely connected with the history of Nevermore and holds its own secrets.

Jenna Ortega as Wednesday: Reimagining an Icon

 * Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, is not just another interpretation of a well-known character, but a complete reinterpretation, combining classic features and modern trends.    * Wednesday has a sharp mind, a sarcastic sense of humor, a dislike of emotions, and strong independence. She despises hypocrisy, lies, and manipulation, and always says what she thinks, regardless of the consequences.    * At Nevermore, Wednesday tries to tame her psychic abilities - the gift of visions that allows her to look into the future and the past. She is also fond of writing, mainly dark detective stories.    * Despite her detachment and reluctance to make friends, Wednesday is forced to interact with other students, make allies, and even show (albeit reluctantly) concern for loved ones. Her relationships with Enid, Xavier, and Tyler become an important part of her personal growth and the disclosure of her inner world.

Family, Friends, Enemies: Inhabitants of Nevermore and Jericho

* **Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers):** Wednesday's roommate, a werewolf, the complete opposite of Wednesday. Enid is a bright, sociable, and optimistic girl who strives for popularity and friendship. Her relationship with Wednesday is a clash of two worlds, which eventually develops into a real friendship.    * **Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White):** An artist with the gift of bringing his drawings to life. Xavier has a crush on Wednesday and tries to help her with the investigation. He is shrouded in mystery, and his past raises many questions.    * **Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan):** A local barista, the son of Sheriff Galpin. Tyler is an ordinary guy from a small town who attracts Wednesday with his simplicity and sincerity. However, he also hides his secrets.    * **Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie):** A strict and mysterious principal of Nevermore, a former classmate of Morticia Addams. Weems tries to protect the school and its students from external threats, but her methods are not always honest.    * **Morticia and Gomez Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán):** Wednesday's parents, who come to Nevermore for parents' day. Their relationship with Wednesday is complex, but they love her in their own way. Unveiling the story of their studies at Nevermore becomes an important part of the plot.

The Beast in the Shadows: Wednesday's Investigation

The central storyline of the series is the investigation of a series of brutal murders committed by a mysterious monster known as Hyde. Wednesday, who has the gift of visions, finds herself at the center of this investigation.    * Wednesday uses her psychic abilities, deductive method, and non-standard thinking to solve the mystery of the monster and stop it. She collects evidence, interrogates suspects, and tries to reconstruct the events that took place.    * The investigation leads Wednesday to ancient prophecies, hidden pages in the history of Nevermore, and secrets carefully guarded by influential people in the town of Jericho.    * In the course of the investigation, Wednesday faces many obstacles: distrust from the police, intrigues at school, and personal experiences. She is forced to take risks, break the rules, and trust her instincts.    * The solution to the mystery of the monster will be unexpected and shocking and will forever change the lives of Wednesday and her environment.
