For decades, the Land of Oz was defined by a single, simple narrative: a yellow brick road, a girl from Kansas, and a villainous green-skinned witch cackling as she melted under a bucket of water.

What if she was a victim of propaganda?

The novel famously asks: Is Elphaba wicked? She kills, but often in self-defense or out of grief. She is antisocial, but as a result of systemic betrayal. By contrast, characters like Glinda (the “Good Witch”) are complicit with the regime through inaction.
