Elphaba, Glinda, and Nessarose are the names of the witches in 'Wicked'. Elphaba and Nessarose are sisters and share the last name of Thropp. They become known as the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West, respectively. The Thropp sisters both get to know Glinda as students at Shiz University. But Glinda manages to build up a good reputation and thereby ends up as the most powerful sorceress in Oz.

In the play Hamlet how many witches were there?

4 active in the book, 3 active in the movie. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] identified four main witches who are active in his story: Glinda the Good Witch of the South, the Good Witch of the North, and the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The original count was six or seven. For the world of Oz originally had four wicked witches. But Glinda and her colleague managed to take over the Quadling country of the South and the Munchkinland of the North, respectively, from the Wicked Witches who had been ruling in those two lands. In addition, Baum brings in the story of Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is she a seventh witch, in addition to the two previously Wicked Witches of the North and of the South; the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West; and the two Good Witches of the North and of the South? Or is she the younger version of the older Good Witch of the North? In the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, Baum gives the Good Witch of the North the name Locasta. But there are inconsistencies between the play and the book versions even though Baum authored both! In the 1939 film version, there are only three witches: Glinda has become the Good Witch of the North, there's no Good Witch of the South, and there are the two Wicked Witches of the East and of the West.


In The Wizard of Oz where was the Wicked Witch from?

According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], there originally were four wicked witches who terrorized the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. They were the Wicked Witches of the East, North, South, and West. Glinda the Good and another unnamed Good Witch managed to take over the rule of the Red Quadling Country of the South, and of the Blue Munchkin Country of the North, respectively. So Baum's story began with two good witches, and two wicked witches. Close to the beginning of the book, the Wicked Witch of the East was killed when Dorothy's farmhouse landed on her. A bit more than midway through the story, the Wicked Witch of the West was killed when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her and melted her into nothingness. So the story ended with no wicked witches, and two good witches of the South and of the North.
