Rewind: Evly, The Evil Queen

anvituteja

Readers, do you remember Evly, The Evil Queen? Featured in Reputation, this acclaimed poem represents a person who has been misunderstood their entire life, through the fictional story of a Queen being denied not only her birthright but also her right to herself.
In a male-dominated society, a woman, especially a Queen, is expected to maintain some degree of conformity and bow down to her male counterparts, or else she is declared “clinically” insane (as shown in writings on the wall with the semblance of the yellow wallpaper), denied a right to exist as she likes (SADIST), or declared “EVIL” and chased with pitchforks and proofs (Evly, The Evil Queen).
Thus, Evly embraces her dark side and becomes the so-called “Evil Queen,” and even at her end, is content with becoming a symbol not of war, but of peace, as she leaves behind her memoirs, self-aware after having spent a lifetime begging for footnotes in the stories of other’s lives.

People tend to be creative,
When they’re condemning others…

Evly, The Evil Queen
I was the bond, the glue, the solvent that saved the kingdom,
And because I wanted more, I was no longer Daddy’s Good Little Girl,
And they said, I killed the King, but I just wanted my very own Queendom.

As an Avid Blogger, I, Anvi Tuteja, am elated to present my blogsite – Anvi’s Thoughts Caught – as an amalgamation of my literary enterprise, poetic endeavours, day-to-day blogs, and other creative interests. Here is a bit about me: https://anvituteja.com/about-me/ Anvi Tuteja is a master mischief maker, secretly plotting world domination from her imaginary window seat in Gurgaon, India. She’s an aspirant philosopher, first-time author and a die-hard Potter Head. She sidelines as an Oracle of Prophesies, blogger at WordPress and her family’s self-appointed movie buff. Anvi has been reading and writing since she was three years old. For her, poetry is a coping mechanism, and in her words – one that doesn’t judge, doesn’t lie and doesn’t make you feel like you’re wrong for simply being the way you are. Anvi Tuteja is a bundle of contradictions – she reads, but binge-watches anything Marvel; she doesn’t have a social media presence, but she writes a secret diary; and she is a walking Shakespeare encyclopedia, but also a constant music streamer. In all her work, from her regular posts at her blogsite – http://www.anvituteja.com to her TEDx talk about New Emerging Technologies – Anvi Tuteja does it all with heart, impatience and love.
