Morticia Addams
Morticia A. Addams (née Frump) is the fictional matriarch of "The Addams Family", created by cartoonist Charles Addams and based on his first wife Barbara (who became the second wife of John Hersey, a colleague at The New Yorker and the author of Hiroshima).
Cartoons
Morticia first appeared in Charles Addams' newspaper cartoons as the stern, aloof matriarch of the Family. She often appeared with the rest of the family, and was, along with Gomez and Grandmama, one of the few members to actually speak in the cartoons.
Background
Morticia is the wife of Gomez Addams and mother of Wednesday Addams, Pugsley Addams and Pubert Addams. The character originated in the Charles Addams cartoons for The New Yorker magazine in the 1930s. In the cartoons, none of the family members had names. When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Charles Addams gave her the name "Morticia", implying "death" (derived from "mors", genitive "mortis", the Latin word for "death", and perhaps also inspired by "mortician"). Morticia's maiden name is "Frump" and she has an older sister named Ophelia (also played by Carolyn Jones). In the television series, her mother (Uncle Fester's sister) was named Hester Frump (played by Margaret Hamilton). Her mother-in-law is Grandmama Addams. In the 1990s Addams Family films, Grandmama is actually Morticia's mother, not Gomez's.

Andem Som Gjorde Oppror

Second journey: Visjoner av ev eldgammel Fremtid
"In all the candles that I burn, I see the formations of horizons
dark. And in my mind hear voices cry, so sad. Behind the forests
(what do they hide?). In my nightmares I can see what they hide. So
evil, this place feels familiar in some way. It feels right."
"Still I must live on, create my reality that was, await the death
hour and depart. I can see the everlasting stars reflect themsleves
when I look down upon the surfaces of the bottomless lakes, those all
black lakes, going nowhere, being everywhere. Being the wet houses of
watery ghouls and spirits."
