This is Pulled from Addams Family the musical. Wednesday is portraying Transcendentalist ideas in this song because she is going against what her family wants her to be and is beginning to think for herself. In Self Reliance, Emerson writes, "In every work of genius we recognize
our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain
alienated majesty." In this song, Wednesday is deciding that even though her parents want her to be dark and creepy, she wants to explore new territory. Emerson, like Wednesday asks, "Is it really so bad to be misunderstood?" (Self Reliance).
