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.


What were the last words of wicked witch of the east?

In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], Glinda the Good has no recorded interaction with the Wicked Witch of the East. Neither does the audience witness any such interaction between the two in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. But there are interactions in the novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954]. In one interaction, Glinda tells Nessarose, who ultimately becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the East, to be 'wary'. There's another interaction that the audience learns of at the time of Nessarose's funeral. At the funeral, Glinda reminisces about becoming Nessarose's surrogate sister at Shiz University. In particular, she remembers using a special spell to repair Nessarose's favorite shoes. Glinda then tells Nessarose about 'dazzling' the shoes so the wheelchair bound student can stand up straight all by herself. Glinda's spell eventually enables Nessarose to rule the Free State of Munchkinland. But Nessarose's rule ends when she's crushed to death by the landing of Dorothy Gale's house in the lands of Oz. Was Nessarose not being 'wary' that day?


Who was Bog in the Wizard of Oz?

Boq was an important resident of the Blue Munchkin Country of the East in the lands of Oz. He extended the hospitality of a night's lodging and food to Dorothy Gale, and her pet dog Toto. It was his way of thanking Dorothy for killing, albeit inadvertently, the Wicked Witch of the East, and thereby releasing the Munchkins from her rule.


What happened to the Wicked Witch of the West and the Witch of the North?

In both the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West melts into nothingness from Dorothy Gale having thrown a bucket of water over her. According to the much, much later play version of 'Wicked', the Witch fakes her death. There's a trapdoor through which she escapes, to leave Oz behind and start a new life elsewhere with her love interest, Fiyero. In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, the Witch of the North accompanies a group of Munchkins to welcome Dorothy Gale to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Also, they want to thank Dorothy for having killed - albeit accidentally - the Wicked Witch of the East. Later in the series, we learn that this unnamed* good witch is a powerful sorceress who doesn't allow anyone else in her Purple Gillikin Country of the North to practice magic, sorcery, witchcraft, or wizardry. *In the beloved 1939 film version, the positions of the unnamed Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good Witch of the South are consolidated into one, as Glinda the Good Witch of the North. According to the book, Glinda rules over the Red Quadling Country of the South. She is the most powerful of sorceresses. Nothing happens to stop her powerful rule, and her powerful aid to friends such as Dorothy Gale and Princess Ozma of Oz.


What did the Munchkins start out as?

In the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Munchkins started out as small people. They began* as slaves to the Wicked Witch of the East. But they were freed from her cruel rule with her accidental crushing to death by the landing of Dorothy Gale's farmhouse in the Blue Munchkinland of the East. In the book, they began and continued a love for blue. In the movie, they didn't favor blue any more than any other color so long as it was bright. *According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], the residents of Munchkinland predated the Witch. The Blue Munchkin Country and the other three countries in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz originally had been ruled by good witches. But the good witches were chased out of Munchkinland and Winkieland. They were succeeded by the slavedriving rule of the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West.

Why does the Wicked Witch of the West hate Glinda the Good Witch?

No reason is given as to why the Wicked Witch of the West may or may not hate Glinda the Good Witch in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." Nor is any reason offered in the beloved 1939 movie version "The Wizard of Oz."But if the hatred exists, then it may be due to the fact that the two witches are different in the ways they rule their respective countries and in which they practice their respective crafts. Such a reason may be guessed at by the interpretation that author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) gives to the initial feud between the two in their youth. Specifically, Glinda is the beautiful, successful popular girl on campus while the green-skinned Elphaba Thropp, the future Wicked Witch of the West, is more concerned about principles than about popularity.you could listen to that stuff or just watch the play Wicked......its DA BOMB DIGGITY


What was a Winkie in the book 'Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'?

According to the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', a Winkie was an inhabitant of the Yellow Winkieland Country of the West. The residents were enslaved by the Wicked Witch of the West until her death. At that time, they were freed. They chose to protect their freedoms under the subsequent, benevolent rule of the Tin Woodman.The land and the peoples continued to exist in 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. The book was authored and published, in 1995, by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954]. It then was turned into a popular musical under the influence of Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948].There have been some differences between the book and musical versions of 'Wicked', and other differences between 'Wicked' and 'The Wizard of Oz'. But the basic cultural geography of the lands and peoples of the beautiful, enchanted, magical Oz has persisted throughout the many written and performed versions of, and spin-offs from, 'The Wizard of Oz'.


Why are the marching men called Winkies in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

That they're inhabitants of the Winkie country is why the marching men are called 'Winkies' in 'The Wizard of Oz'. They live in the country that's in the east part of the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. Their country is called the Yellow Country of the East, or Winkieland. They're under the rule of the Wicked Witch of the West. They're forced to work for her as guards, until she dies under a bucketful of water thrown by Dorothy Gale.
