Themes and Interpretation

Maleficent Villainy is portrayed in complex terms. Rather than adhering to her traditional arc of being defeated by good forces, the film seeks to explore her background so as to reveal that pain and yearning betrayal is often at the core of acts deemed evil.
- Betrayal and Empowerment
Stefan’s betrayal of Maleficent serves as emotionally charged violence rendered unto her. More specifically, a harm inflicted upon someone whereby through some force or agency they are animated into life from a state of disempowered existence conveys stark irony weighted by potent societal contours.

The sequel enriched the story world of Moors by introducing new characters such as Queen Ingrith played by Michelle Pfeiffer.
