The cultural context of a story is not limited to the opening scene; it encompasses the broader societal, historical, and cultural influences that shape the narrative, characters, and themes throughout the entire work. While the opening scene can introduce elements of this context, such as setting or character backgrounds, the cultural context is woven throughout the story and can evolve as the plot develops. It includes language, customs, beliefs, and societal norms that inform the characters' actions and motivations. Thus, understanding the cultural context requires a holistic view of the entire narrative.
Yes it is.
The term "wicked" in the context of societal problems originates from the concept of "wicked problems," which refers to complex issues that are difficult to define and resolve due to their interconnected nature. The term gained prominence in the 1970s, particularly through the work of design theorist Horst Rittel, who highlighted how these problems are resistant to simple solutions and often involve multiple stakeholders with differing perspectives. Wicked problems typically include issues like climate change, poverty, and healthcare, which require collaborative and adaptive approaches to address effectively.
The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' came out in 1995. 'Wicked: the musical' (only the best musical ever) came out in 2003.

That depends on the context. Wicked, traditionally, means bad or evil. In some modern slang though, it can mean "extra" or "especially." For instance, if someone is "wicked cool," they are not cool in an evil way, they are especially cool.

There well may be a film about the Wicked Witch of the East if the success of the musical 'Wicked' continues. Within the next couple of years, there may be a film version of the popular musical based on the popular book of the same title. Any film version will concentrate on the interaction between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West; and on Glinda the Good. But just as in the play and the book, there's room for Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.
