The Evil Queen

The nameless antagonist of *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*, the 1937 animated film based on the 1812 Germanic fairy tale of the same name. An immensely vain woman who gained her queenly status from marrying a widowed king before his death, The Evil Queen is outraged when her magic mirror names her stepdaughter Snow White as the fairest in the land and not her. Seething with jealousy, The Evil Queen orders her loyal huntsman to kill Snow White, and when he refuses, she uses dark magic to disguise herself as an old hag and tempts Snow White with a poisoned apple.
