The Netflix Series "Wednesday" (2022)

In the Netflix series Wednesday, the protagonist, Wednesday Addams, does experience betrayal. The main character who betrays her trust is Xavier Thorpe, a fellow student at Nevermore Academy. Xavier, who has romantic feelings for Wednesday, is initially her friend and ally. However, he ultimately betrays her by revealing her secret to the school's headmistress, Larissa Weems.

Xavier's betrayal stems from a combination of factors:

  • Fear: Xavier is afraid that Wednesday will be expelled from Nevermore Academy if her true identity is revealed.
  • Jealousy: Xavier is jealous of Wednesday's growing relationship with Tyler Galpin.
  • Manipulation: Xavier is manipulated by Larissa Weems, who wants to use Wednesday's powers for her own gain.

Wednesday's betrayal by Xavier is a significant plot point in the series, as it leads to a series of events that ultimately culminate in the revelation of Larissa Weems' true identity as a monster and her plan to unleash a horde of monsters upon the world.
