![]() Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. It is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth: that you are a slave. You can feel it when you go to church, or when you pay your taxes. You can see them when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. The color of the Land is purple.Let me tell you why you're here. The Good Witch of the Northis unnamed in the book The Wizard of Oz, but given the name Locasta by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum, in his stage version of the book. In the movie and stage versions, she's ka the Good Witch of the North, and there's no mention of any Good Witch of the South. The Good Witch of the South is named Glinda in the book The Wizard of Oz, and Galinda and then Glinda in Wicked. The Wicked Witch of the East is unnamed in the book The Wizard of Oz, but given the name Nessarose in Wicked. But author Gregory Maguire gives her the name Elphaba Thropp in Wicked. Galinda, who becomes known later as Glinda, is the good witch.Īnswer #1 West: Elphaba, controls Winkies, yellow East: Nessarose, controls ?, color? North:name?, munchkins, blue South: Glinda, color?, controls ? Please fill in the blanks! I need to know this too! Answer #2 The Wicked Witch of the Westis unnamed in the book The Wizard of Oz. In Gregory McGuire's book Wicked, he names the Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba (from the author of the Wizard of Oz's initials, LFB) and the Wicked Witch of the East Nessarose. The Wicked Witch of the East and the Wicked Witch of the West have no names in the movie version of "The Wizard of Oz." In the movie, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North. Is Gayelette a third good witch? Or is she the older Good Witch of the North in her youth? And to complicate things even further, according to the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, which also was authored by Baum, the Good Witch of the North is ka Locasta. Or does she? Later in the book, the Winged Monkeys tell the tale of Quelala and his wife Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. The Good Witch of the North remains nameless. The Good Witch of the South is ka Glinda. Two witches, in the lands of Oz, are good. ![]() But their names are revealed decades later, when Gregory Maguire gives them the names Elphaba Thropp of the West, and Nessarose Thropp of the East. Two witches are wicked, and remain the nameless Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. And the position of Good Witch of the South is left vacant.Īccording to the 1900 edition of the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum, there are four witches in the land of Oz. But in the 1939 film version, and in Maguire's later contributions to the Royal Histories of Oz, Glinda is given the title of Good Witch of the North. Is Gayelette the Good Witch in her youth? Or is this someone completely different? Also in the book, the Good Witch of the South is Glinda. Also, in the book, the tale is told of Gayelette, the beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Since there are inconsistencies between the book and the stage version, it's unknown whether the name is carved in stone. But, in the 1902/1903 stage version, she has the name Locasta. The Good Witch of the North remains nameless in the book. In the book, there are two Good Witches, of the North and of the South. But, once again, thanks to Maguire, readers are able to give a name to the face. Likewise, she remains nameless in the book, and the film. The Wicked Witch of the West is Dorothy's main enemy. For Gregory Maguire reveals the Witch's name as Nessarose Thropp. But decades later, readers find out the Witch's name. The Witch remains nameless in the book, and in the beloved 1939 film version. Answer #2 In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, there are four witches who actively influence the course of events. Answer #1 There are only two witches in the movie, and their names are the Wicked Witch of the West and the Wicked Witch of the East. ![]()
