No, Elphaba Thropp isn't presented as a good person in either the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. In both the book and the movie, she's identified just as the 'Wicked Witch of the West'. It's only with the novel 'Wicked' of 1995 and the musical 'Wicked' of 2003 that she's given the name of 'Elphaba Thropp', and a chance to defend her wicked reputation as accurate or not.

The Wizard expresses antagonism particularly against animals in general, animals that think and speak in particular and Ozites who dare to consider disobedience an option. Additionally, the Wizard becomes antagonistic to Fiyero, who tries to help Elphaba in her fight for animal welfare in the animal-oppressed lands of Oz.

She casts her spell, to protect him from being harmed by her sister Nessarose, who is jealous of his love for Glinda the Good Witch, and who is the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz. And Elphaba and Fiyero release a caged lion cub into the forest, to become the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz.

Unfortunately, Madame Morrible, the Wizard's press secretary, gets the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Woodman to see Elphaba as the caster of evil spells.

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.
