Who is thought to be wicked in the book 'Wicked'?
Elphaba Thropp is thought to be wicked in the book "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954).Specifically, Elphaba is born with green skin and is not her mother's favorite child. She is mistreated and misunderstood throughout life. As is the case with many people, Elphaba does likeable things - such as taking care of her younger sister Nessarose - and unlikeable things. It is the latter that people choose to remember and that influence Elphaba's overall undeserved reputation as the Wicked Witch of the West.

Who is the main character in the musical 'Wicked'?
Boq is in love with Galinda, but ends up unhappily married to Nessarose. He is a very important and very rich Munchkin in the book version of The Wizard of Oz. But in the musical, Nessarose causes him to become the subsequent Tin Woodman of The Wizard of Oz. Chistery is a monkey servant for whom Elphaba cares, because of her particular concern over the rights and well-being of animals. Dorothy Gale is a visitor to the lands and peoples of Oz. She thinks that she has killed Elphaba by throwing water on her, and thereby causing her to melt into nothingness. Dr. Dillamond is one of Elphaba's professors at Shiz University. As a goat that can talk, he's ka an Animal, as opposed to animals that can't talk. Elphaba Thropp becomes the Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz. Although the writing of the novel and the stage of the play Wicked take place decades after the original 1900 book and 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, it may be seen as a prequel. But it provides a clarification on Elphaba's fate. For her supposed end in Oz is actually her beginning elsewhere with fellow student and lover, Prince Fiyero. He becomes the Scarecrow of The Wizard of Oz. Galinda Upland of the Upper Uplands becomes Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Madame Morrible is the headmistress of Shiz University. Melina is the mother of Elphaba and of Nessarose. She's married to Munchkinland Governor Frexpar, who is a doting father to Nessarose, and abusive stepfather to Elphaba. Nessarose Thropp succeeds her father as Governor of Munchkinland. She becomes the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz. Pfanny and Shen Shen are college girlfriends of Galinda. Professor Nikidik succeeds Dr. Dillamond at Shiz University. The Wizard may be the real father of Elphaba. He's a carnival huckster who becomes the Supreme Ruler of the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz.
What are the conflicts in the musical 'Wicked'?
Where Elphaba Thropp fits into the scheme of things is the problem in both the book and the stage versions of 'Wicked'. Specifically, Elphaba doesn't fit into society because of her unusual, green tinted skin. Neither does she fit into school because of her compassion for non humans. Nor does she fit into family because of her being the biological result of her mother's extramarital affair with the Wizard of Oz.The problem is solved, in the book and the play, by Elphaba's removal from the immediate scene. In the original book and the musical, Elphaba appears to die under a steadily fatal stream of water. But in the book and the musical, there's the possibility that she'll come back.
What is the solution to wicked by Gregory mcguire?
Well the whole plot is different and many of the questions the reader has are left unanswered. The biggest differences between the musical and the book are that - Elphaba could have died there was no proof she lived. - Galinda and Elphaba never make up, the last scene with them is just heart wrenching. -Fiyero is not the scarecrow she just hopes he is. -Elphaba has a son named Liir. -The love triangle between Elphaba and Fiyero never really exists it is between Fiyero's wife and Elphaba ( Fiyero's wife and most of their children die except one ) There is a lot more but that is most of it. Sorry of you didn't want it compared to the musical. All in all Maguire has a much darker ending.
