What is the Wicked Witch most afraid of in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The Wicked Witch of the West melts into nothingness when Dorothy Gale throws a bucketful of water over her, according to the original 1900 book edition and the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. Such is her fate according to the 1995 book edition of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. But such is not her fate according to the musical Wicked, the stage version of the book.
Why does water melt the Wicked Witch of the West?
The Book: In the book Wicked written by Gregory Maguire, Elphaba is allergic to water. Since birth she has had a strange aversion to it, and it is revealed she is allergic. She is melted by Dorothy Gale of Kansas, but as it is told, witches never die. "'And there the Wicked Witch stayed for a good long time.' 'Did she ever come out?' 'Not yet.'" (That quote was from the book Wicked, By Gregory Maguire)The Musical: In Wicked: The Musical, Elphaba is not allergic to water. This is proved during the song "I'm Not That Girl," when she sings in the pouring rain. People believe that water will melt her because her soul is so unclean. She goes along with this rumor in order to stage her death in the end of Act II.Note of importance: In both the Wicked the Musical and the book Wicked, Elphaba is the Wicked Witch of the West's name, named after the initials of Lyman Frank Baum, who wrote the Wizard of Oz.
