Best Answer

Dorothy Good (actual name Dorcas Good) was the daughter of Sarah Goode, one of those convicted as a witch in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Dorcas, although only 4 years old at the time, was interrogated and "corroborated" the charges against her mother, who was a beggar. Sarah was later hanged, and Dorcas spent 9 months in jail, the youngest of those convicted in the trials.

At the time, both religious laws and the belief in supernatural influences were common, and the jurisprudence of the day was often wildly inconsistent and influenced by the personal agendas of ministers and politicians.

How does Dorothy get along with the witches in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Well with the good and poorly and not at all with the badis the way in which Dorothy gets along with witches in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy Gale gets along with Glinda the Good Witch. Glinda helps Dorothy, her pet dog Toto and their three friends the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. So Dorothy is complimentary about Glinda. In contrast, she lacks any opportunity to try to get along or not with the Wicked Witch of the East, whom she accidentally kills when the witch and Dorothy's house try to occupy the same space at the same time. But her interactions with the witch's fellow Wicked Witch of the West all turn out poorly.
