  • Yennefer of Vengerburg is my favorite character in The Witcher Series on Netflix and The Witcher Book Series. Yennefer is one of the 3 main characters in the Witcher Series. She is a Witch or Sorceress that Geralt meets in The short story The Last Wish in the Book The Last Wish. In this video I will go over Yennefer's storyline from The Last Wish to the beginning of Blood of the Elves. Thanks for watching!

    Yennifer is the epitome of DETERMINATION. She really did turn a hard life into her own.

      The actress playing Yennifer is not exactly blowing me out of the water, violet lenses or not. She looks averagely nice.
      Emilia Clarke as Daenerys on the other hand has been given a look that is downright iconic. Even without the special eye colour that character is recognisable from miles afar even by a half blind.

    There is more to her that meets the eye she's mysterious, strong, secretive, reserved, powerful, emotional, sensitive, outspoken, empathetic, harsh, manipulative, compassionate, beautiful, fiery, light, dark, maternal, spirited, cold, warm, broken, complicated, wise, intelligent, complex, honest, blunt, black and white, shades of gray, and so much more.

    I haven’t read the books yet but even from watching the show I knew in the first scene she was in that she’d be my favourite. Who doesn’t love a beautiful, powerful woman with a tragic backstory and a raw human desire to be loved? It speaks to anyone with a soul.

      I must say that, personally, I prefere Yen from books, as in them she is a bit more grounded and more complex than in the show, she is bitchy at times, but also shows depth and sense of maturity that show Yennefer does not, Anya Chalotra after all is a young actress so naturally it's harder to come off as experienced woman, plus certain key decisions of netflix show regarding Yennefer arch didn't suit with me.

    Thanks for reminding me how fab and full of sarcasm Yenns letter to G was. Cracked me up the first time I read it but it sounded way better when you read it. .. looking forward to more .. I love Yen a lot but sometimes her n G's combustible relationship is a bit too much.

    The Snow Queen is a short story by Hans Christian Anderson. It inspired this as well as the movie frozen and the white witch in the lion the witch and the wardrobe. The shard of ice or glass from a mirror works its way to the eye and heart where it makes you judgemental and cold or unfeeling. This lack of empathy when it reaches the heart is found in many personality disorders and the black and white thinking cognitive distortion where only perfect people have value so since we are all imperfect we are all without any value is represented by the visual distortion. Many of us have a bit of this that we absorbed from our primary caregiver or in our family of origin. Geralt has empathy but can't really access it and Yenefer has vulnerability and can't access it. They are both damaged and they love each other and their unspoken needs will continue to go unsoothed until they seek counseling. I'm not a therapist so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

    Yennefer is the best female character in The Witcher books, she is the only sorceress
    who doesn't want to destroy Cirri and Geralt's life. she is so complex and didn’t fall into the fairy tale maiden paradigm .................................. Anya Chalotra killed as yennefer ... she was great..

  • @MaciejBogdanStepien
    @MaciejBogdanStepien 4 года назад +1

    But, but... she is not a witch. Not at all. Never. And she's from Vengerberg, not "..burg", which is the capital city of the Kingdom of Aedirn. Watching the show you might have missed that part, but after having read the books? And while stating that she's your favourite character? Geralt's mother was a druidess, not a witch either. So, why? Why would you say and type such things? Aren't you up to making ppl familiar with the story and the characters? Then why doing the opposite?
