Until her death therefore, the Wicked Witch of the West is Dorothy's antagonist and her nemesis.

What does the witch do in 'The Wizard of Oz' that she does not do in 'Wicked'?
Really die is what the witch does do in "The Wizard of Oz" but does not do in "Wicked."Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) indicates that the Wicked Witch of the West melts into a brown sugar-like mass that Dorothy washes and sweeps out the door. So the witch really dies in the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 movie classic. In contrast, she does not die, but indeed fakes her death by escaping through a trap door in "Wicked," which is a back story or prequel to "The Wizard of Oz."
