Exploring Characters: Comparing Wednesday Addams and Astrid in Beetlejuice

Well, speaking of character,
should I also want to ask you,
I feel like I got a little hint of Wednesday.
Is there anything that you Learned from Wednesday
that you brought to Beetlejuice?
Beetlejuice? No.
Uh, really?
Haha,
no, I really.
I really don’t think so. I mean,
I think obviously it’s.
It’s Tim’s world, so I think that,
you know,
things in the universe kind of naturally and can be similar at times.
Or, you know,
some of the. Like,
a lot of my lines were nasty or bitter, and,
you know, that’s like Wednesday’s whole thing.
But for the most part, I think a lot of what was based in Astrid
was just kind of the experience that she had had growing up.
You know, not being very close to her mom.
Yeah. Being sent away to a boarding school,
losing her father, her parents getting divorced.
There’s just, like,
a lot of resentment, and I think she was just kind of mad at the world.
Yeah. I think she’s actually quite a normal person,
but I think sometimes
that stress and not knowing where to put it or place it
is kind of where her nastiness came from.
Where Wednesday, she just kind of.
She does it for the. For the pleasure of it all.
