How does the Wicked Witch of the East look?

Answer 1

The Wicked Witch of the West was given a false chin and nose to exaggerate and lengthen those features, under green make-up. The broom-flying scenes involved a harness,just as with the Winged Monkeys. And she melted, by being lowered gradually down from sight by way of an elevator platform built into the floor.

Answer 2

Enslave and torment them is what the Wicked Witch of the West does to her visitors in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, this element is common to both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz." In the book, the Wicked Witch of the West enslaves Dorothy, imprisons the Cowardly Lion and leaves the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman for dead. In contrast, in the movie, Dorothy is locked up with the witch, who plans to kill her and take the magic shoes. But Toto runs away and leads the three friends back to the rescue.

Answer 3

Determined, obsessive and vindictive are the personality traits of the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the witch shows determination in her relentless pursuit of the magic shoes. She shows obsession in her unabated fixation on the shoes. She shows vindictiveness in punishing those who do not give her what is not hers to receive in the first place.

Answer 4

The main source of the Wicked Witch of the West's power was the Grimmerie. According to author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954], the Grimmerie was a book of spells. It ended up in the hands of Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the musical of the same name by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948], Elphaba leaves the book with Glinda the Good Witch.

Answer 5

The Wicked Witch of the East does not appear in either the book or the movie. All we ever see are her stripped stockings sticking out from under Dorothy's house.
