Glinda

Wizard of Oz Archetypes Everyone is unique in their own way but we are all placed under a general characterization or archetype. In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, each character is placed under a specific archetype. For example Dorothy is the maiden, Glinda the good witch of the north is the mother, the wicked witch of the west is the villain, the lion is the child, and the tin man is the father. Each character has a certain type of personality that makes them a certain archetype. Dorothy, the main

stories both sharing the same characters and setting. The two plots are so masterfully intertwined, but showing two very different points of view. Although they share so many similarities, relationships and conflicts between the two are very different. Glinda maybe isn’t so good after all, Elphaba was just trying to do what was right, and the Wizard was the real villain all along. To truly see things as they really are, both sides of a story must be acknowledged and understood, or else someone else’s story

characters, Elphaba ("Elfie") and Glinda, were played by Jackie Burns and Amanda Jane Cooper. The Broadway musical featured the songs Popular, The Wizard and I, and Defying Gravity. Musicals are simply just plays that have dancing and songs included to add to the excitement and thrill, allowing the ballads of Wicked to enhance the storyline. For example, the song Popular was a song sung to tell the audience about how Glinda was going to help Elphaba become popular and how Glinda had plans to do "everything

After that, Dorothy gets threatened by the Wicked Witch of the West. Glinda, the Wicked Witch of the North, helps her out by giving her red slippers, that belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East, and tells her to go find the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City. On her path to Emerald City Dorothy meets 3 companions to help her

These women certainly seem to carry the stereotype of what constitutes the good woman to the audience (Cloud 108). Glinda gives the audience a figure to aspire to be. As Cloud states, she is very feminine with bright pink colors, her hair is curled to perfection, and her beautiful long dress is almost childlike. Dorothy looks up to her as a mother figure. Glinda has nurturing qualities and pushes them on Dorothy as well. The Wicked Witch of the West is the exact opposite of being unattractive

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, when Glinda said “She had to learn it for herself,” the it was that there is no place like home, she loves her family and they love her back, and she is satisfied on the farm. First of all, part of the “it” Glinda was talking about is that there is no place like home. The movie script states, “And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And- Oh, Auntie Em- there's no place like home!” This is one part of “it”. Dorothy has learned that

From Glinda waiting to tell Dorothy

This is made clearer when you hear the tremolos highlight this important moment. Glinda is left horrified when she hears this and tells Elphaba that she is being delusional and that she is playing a dangerous game disobeying the wizard. Yet despite Glinda’s plea Elphaba decides that she would be better to live a life of importance on

In 1939 one of the most memorable film was released, The Wizard of Oz. In 1978 The Wiz, an urban reimaging of the exemplary novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz put an African American vibe to a film. The novel turned into films follows the adventures of Dorothy, a girl who embark on an adventure in strange and fantastical land just wanting to go back home. In this essay I’m going to plot each film and compare the main character of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and the Wiz and discuss

When we were presented with the task of creating a theatrical mask, that revealed something about ourselves, for our midterm I had no clue what I was going to do. Through lots of brainstorming I came up with the idea of having half of my mask be Glinda the Good Witch, from Wicked and Wizard of Oz, and the other half be Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West, from the same shows.
