It had been a whole week since the wicked witches had been defeated (no one was really sure what happened to Evanora, although some swore that they saw an old hag in Evanora’s dress being carried off into the sky) and still Glinda had no idea how to get them home. Seeing as though the two were living in the palace with her, Glinda saw no choice

to fantastical dystopian version of New York City. The Wiz has several female characters that are central to the storyline: Aunt Em, Miss One the Good Witch of the North, Evillene the Wicked Witch of the West, Evamean the Wicked Witch of the East, Glinda the Good Witch of the South, and Dorothy.

“The Wizard of Oz.” The story begins from her birth and ends with her unfortunate death. It is broken up into five arcs, which are five life stages Elphaba experiences.

Theater has been a platform that has been used to deepen our communication and understanding of the complexities of the world around us. It teaches us through language, movement, and the establishment of intimate relationships that play to the contagious nature of emotions. The majority of the 20th century saw a utilization of plays as a tool to stimulate social change, provoke viewers to assess the foundation of what they believe, and an attempt to depict humanity as it truly was. In comparison

she does very little. The very first thought Dorothy has upon learning that Glinda is a witch is that Glinda is beautiful despite her being a witch (Wizard 0:22:30-0:22:36). Not to mention her outfit is by now means practical as pointed out by Rushdie (21). Glinda’s power is not enhanced for every sparkle and pouf her clothing has as the Wicked Witch of the West is quite powerful without either of these. This means that Glinda simply wanted decoration for the sake of decoration, a clear example of her
