Description

The Evil Queen is a fictional character and the main antagonist in "Snow White ", a German fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. The Evil Queen is Snow White's evil and vindictive stepmother who is obsessed with being the "fairest in the land". The young princess Snow White makes her jealous, so the Evil Queen concocts several plans to kill her through the use of witchcraft. A driving force in the story is the Magic Mirror.

This portrayal of The Evil Queen in a pop surrealist manner captures her walk through the forest towards Snow White's cottage. She holds two apples in her hand as a symbol of wisdom versus death. You can see her transforming into her disguise to deceive Snow White as several wings sprung out of her alluding to her magical powers. She is portrayed as a sensual and beautiful woman through her sharp facial features and voluptuous body. Her glance is confident however the elaborate garments contrast with the organic nature around her which makes her look displaced and even fearful of losing her place as the fairest of them all.

The tale is a lesson for young children warning against narcissism and pride. She is often regarded as the most interesting character in "Snow White" and has been extensively analyzed and evaluated by literature scholars and psychologists. The Evil Queen's origins can be traced to the character of Silver-Tree, a Celtic oral tale where a jealous queen threatens her daughter.
