Abstract

This article analyzes the thematic depth of the television series *Yellowjackets*, focusing on its portrayal of adolescent girls stranded in a wilderness that serves as a "state of nature," where a matriarchal society emerges. It highlights how the show subverts typical high school narratives by exploring the psychological and social traumas faced by its characters, both during their survival ordeal and in their adult lives. The series contrasts the oppressive patriarchal world the women return to with the freedom and power they experience in the wilderness, suggesting that their trauma is shaped more by societal expectations than by their survival experience. The article emphasizes *Yellowjackets* as a complex exploration of female adolescence, trauma, and identity beyond conventional storytelling.
