What role does Glinda the Good Witch play in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

The source of Dorothy's worst nightmare and most steadfast hope is the role played by Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Glinda gives the slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to Dorothy Gale in the beloved 1939 film version, but not the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz." This puts Dorothy in direct conflict with the Wicked Witch of the West, who knows about the shoes' powerful magic. Dorothy ultimately succeeds in defeating the witch, but not in figuring out how to get back to Kansas. But it turns out that Glinda does.

∙ 10y agoThe wicked witch of the east was the Wicked witch of the West's younger sister. The wicked witch of the East took over munchkinland which is the east side of the land of oz. That's what she represents. And The Wicked witch of the West represents the land of the winkies.

Was Glinda a good witch in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
Yes. In the book version of The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] makes Glinda one of two good witches. Glinda is the Good Witch of the South, and an older lady, who is nameless in the book but named Locasta in the 1902/1903 play version, is the Good Witch of the North. The 1939 film version of the book consolidates Glinda the Good Witch of the South, and the Good Witch of the North, into one person ka Glinda the Good Witch of the North.
Why does the Wicked Witch of the West hate Glinda the Good Witch?
No reason is given as to why the Wicked Witch of the West may or may not hate Glinda the Good Witch in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." Nor is any reason offered in the beloved 1939 movie version "The Wizard of Oz."But if the hatred exists, then it may be due to the fact that the two witches are different in the ways they rule their respective countries and in which they practice their respective crafts. Such a reason may be guessed at by the interpretation that author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) gives to the initial feud between the two in their youth. Specifically, Glinda is the beautiful, successful popular girl on campus while the green-skinned Elphaba Thropp, the future Wicked Witch of the West, is more concerned about principles than about popularity.you could listen to that stuff or just watch the play Wicked......its DA BOMB DIGGITY
What happened to the Wicked Witch of the West and the Witch of the North?
In both the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West melts into nothingness from Dorothy Gale having thrown a bucket of water over her. According to the much, much later play version of 'Wicked', the Witch fakes her death. There's a trapdoor through which she escapes, to leave Oz behind and start a new life elsewhere with her love interest, Fiyero. In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, the Witch of the North accompanies a group of Munchkins to welcome Dorothy Gale to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Also, they want to thank Dorothy for having killed - albeit accidentally - the Wicked Witch of the East. Later in the series, we learn that this unnamed* good witch is a powerful sorceress who doesn't allow anyone else in her Purple Gillikin Country of the North to practice magic, sorcery, witchcraft, or wizardry. *In the beloved 1939 film version, the positions of the unnamed Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good Witch of the South are consolidated into one, as Glinda the Good Witch of the North. According to the book, Glinda rules over the Red Quadling Country of the South. She is the most powerful of sorceresses. Nothing happens to stop her powerful rule, and her powerful aid to friends such as Dorothy Gale and Princess Ozma of Oz.
What part does the Wicked Witch of the West play in 'Wicked'?
Answer #1 If you mean the Broadway musical, it is about how Glinda and the Wicked Witch were friends back in school. It has very good songs. Answer #2 The book 'Wicked' and the play of the same name serve as a prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz'. For there's very little that we know about the Witch from either the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version. For example, we know that she is the hated ruler of the Yellow Winkie Country of the West. We know that she wants the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. And we know that the Wizard of Oz wants both witches dead. So the book and the play give ElphabaThropp, who is the Wicked Witch of the West, a chance to tell her side of the story. As a result, readers of the book and viewers of the play learn about the circumstances of her birth, education, family life, love interests, and passionate causes. There are differences between the book and the stage versions. The book is less sympathetic to Elphaba as sister to Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East and her father's favorite; and as the green-skinned outsider to 'decent' society. The play is more appealing, with its more sympathetic presentation and with its most appealing music score.
What is the moral lesson of the musical 'Wicked'?
The play 'Wicked' may be considered a prequel to the much earlier book 'The Wizard of Oz'. Among the characters of the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz' are the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch. The book by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] and the play by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948] explain what happens in the lives of the Wizard, and the three witches, to have set the events of 'The Wizard of Oz' into motion. The play and the book 'Wicked' give us the perspective of Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West, on life as the sister to Nessarose Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the East and her father's favorite. They also give us her perspective on Galinda, the subsequent Glinda the Good Witch and classmate at Shiz University. And they give us her perspective on being the unacknowledged, natural daughter of the Wizard of Oz. And they also give us her perspective on Fiyero, the Munchkinland Prince who shares her love and for whom the play has a surprise ending.

Who is Glinda in 'The Wiz'?
In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda the Good Witch has red hair. For she rules over the Red Quadling Country of the South in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.

In which year is the musical 'Wicked' set?
The musical 'Wicked' represents the consolidation of a number of years in the lives of two witches. On the one hand, the costumes and the props of the staged version of the play are such as to convey a sense of timelessness. On the other hand, some of the costumes recall specific fashion periods, such as Glinda's 1950's style 'Popular Girl' pink ruffled dress.The musical's setting begins with the end, traces back significant episodes, and ends back where the play opens. The main characters are Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba Thropp, the subsequent Wicked Witch of the West. So the action begins with Glinda's triumph at the supreme sorceress over the former lands of the Wizard of Oz. Her triumph appears to have been achieved at the expense of Elphaba's life and reputation.But flashbacks show that the two witches work their way through initial enmity to friendship. By the time that the musical gets through Glinda's reminiscences, viewers realize that Elphaba's apparent downfall is her actual triumph also. Where Glinda gains a powerful reputation, Elphaba seems to lose hers. But that loss is due to a working arrangement between the two former enemies and subsequent fast friends. Glinda gets to have a career while Elphaba gets to have a personal life and possibly a new career elsewhere, outside of Glinda's power base in Oz.
Who played the role of Glinda in the play 'Wicked'?
There have been many Glinda's over the year, but the original was Kristin Chenoweth.
