The Evolution of the Evil Queen
A look at the many perspectives of Snow White’s mother in Film and TV
Mirror Mirror on the wall, what makes me the fairest of them all?
In every retelling of Snow White, we get more backstory into the Evil Queen. Why is she known as the evil queen anyways? According to one of my favorite Evil Queen’s Regina from Once Upon a time told Snow White that it was her that put the Evil towards her name. Regina from Storybrooke was one of my favorite Evil Queen’s that have come out of the world of film and TV. Of course, there have been many others over the years but since 2012 we have been given three completely different Queens to compare.

One of my favorite things about this movie is the fact that the Evil Queen is played by the great Julia Roberts. Who also narrates the film. She is hugely sarcastic in both the narration and as the Evil Queen. Which made the film even more humorous.
“Snow would have to do what snow does best. Snow would have to fall.” — Evil Queen, Mirror Mirror
Like every snow white that has come before this Evil Queen had the same idea in place, to get rid of Snow White so the Queen would be the most powerful of them…
