Elphaba likes to read, perform magic, and stand up for what she believes in, specifically Animal rights. In the novel, she is also seen weaving baskets and training animals.
No, in neither the original 1900 book edition nor in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz' are the names of the Wicked Witch of the West Elvira Gultch or of the Witch of the East Glenda the Good. In the book, the Wicked Witch of the West is given no name. In the film, she's the personality that Almira Gulch takes on in Dorothy Gale's dream.Likewise, in the book, the Witch of the East has no name. There's a witch named Glinda the Good. But she's the Good Witch of the South, in the Red Quadling Country. In the film, the Witch of the East has no name. Glinda appears, but as the Good Witch of the North.
Answer #1Well, your question is a bit deceiving. While the answer might seem obvious, it is not really, as Dorothy Gale did not actually steal the notorious magical silver shoes - or ruby slippers, as played in the movie - from the Wicked Witch of the West. She removed them from the lifeless body of the Wicked Witch of the East, her sister, just after that body went "Poof!" While the Wicked Witch of the West seriously desired those shoes (slippers), they never truly belonged to her from which to then be later stolen. What Dorothy really "stole" from WWW was the life of WWE...Answer #2The Golden Cap, with which the Wicked Witch of the West had summoned the winged monkeys; and food for the journey to the Emerald City. Both were in the Witch's cupboard in her Yellow Palace. Dorothy removed them after the death of the Wicked Witch of the West.Answer #3She also stole the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West after the witch died. She took the broom back to the Wizard. That was her deal with the Wizard. If she brings back the broom of the WWW, then the Wizard will help her get back home to Kansas and also help her friends Scarecrow, Tinman and the Lion.
The Wicked Witch of the West wanted the Slippers that had belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East. Dorothy's house had landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, and killed her. Dorothy therefore got the shoes, which had secret powers. In the book and the 1902/1903 stage versions of The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15,1856-May 5, 1919] made the Slippers Silver. In the posthumous 1939 film version, the Slippers were Ruby.In the Wizard of Oz it is not said why she wants the shoes. But in the musical 'Wicked' it is said she wants those slippers because they belonged to her sister Nessarose, (Wicked Witch of the East) and they were all she had to remember her by.
The wicked witch, Elphaba, sings : The Wizard and I, What is This Feeling, Something Bad, Dancing Through Life, Im Not That Girl, One Short Day, Defying Gravity, A Sentimental Man, Wonderful, As Long As Your Mine, No Good Deed, and For Good. I'm pretty sure that's it. Sorry if I missed any though.. =)
In Wicked there are really not any wicked witches, just misunderstood girls with magical powers. Elphaba is a college student who was born green and was loved by no one. Because of this, she was considered misunderstood. Being misunderstood and unloved gave her a bitter feeling and she became the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch of the East is Elphaba's younger sister who was once paralyzed. Her name is Nessarose. She becomes wicked in an act of selfishness in trying to save her boyfriend from death. None of the typical witches are wicked. The wicked witch of the west is Elphaba is just missunderstood and that's what the whole musical is about. Then there is Nessarose who is Elphaba's sister but she is seen as the wicked witch of the east because she made a selfish descision to keep her love. Then of course there is Glinda, who isn't really Wicked but very selfish sometimes and a little bit self-centered.
There well may be a film about the Wicked Witch of the East if the success of the musical 'Wicked' continues. Within the next couple of years, there may be a film version of the popular musical based on the popular book of the same title. Any film version will concentrate on the interaction between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West; and on Glinda the Good. But just as in the play and the book, there's room for Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.

Yes, a witch gives monkeys the ability to fly in "Wicked."Specifically, it is Elphaba Thropp who gives caged simians the ability to fly and thereby become known as the Flying Monkeys of Oz. At the time, Elphaba is just a green-skinned student from Shiz University. She has powers but is not yet known as the Wicked Witch of the West or in fact as any kind of witch.
Are you perhaps looking for names for characters in a story you intend to write? If anything with "mal" or "mort" in the name might work. If you are however looking to find out if someone is an "evil witch" from their name, I wish you luck... if people had to have names that suited their character then we would have a lot less difficulty choosing our friends.

Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch of the East when the family farmhouse lands on her. She kills the Wicked Witch of the West by throwing a bucket of water on, and melting, her. In both cases, it's accidental death.
Yes. Not too far from the beginning is the death of the Wicked Witch of the East by Dorothy's house landing on her. More towards the halfway point is the Shakespearean climax of the Wicked Witch of the West dying from Dorothy throwing a bucket of water on her.
Oh, dude, Dorothy straight-up throws a bucket of water on the Wicked Witch of the West. Like, apparently, the witch melts or something because she's allergic to water or forgot her umbrella that day. It's like the ultimate "oops, my bad" moment in Oz.
No, Elphaba Thropp, who is one of two main characters in the musical "Wicked," is not a real person.Specifically, Elphaba is represented by author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) as the Wicked Witch of the West in her youth. The Wicked Witch of the West is a character from "The Wizard of Oz" by author and Royal Oz Histories originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). Baum left no known indication that his Wicked Witch of the West was based on any real person. Maguire likewise has given no indication other than to give to Elphaba a passionate concern for animal welfare. That concern was a lifelong passion of Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985), who played the Wicked Witch in the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."
