Quick Summary
Elphalba
 Do you see Elphies hair has something meaningful?
Why would the author bring it up?
 “It was beautiful hair, in an odd, awful way, with a
shine like the pelt of a healthy giltebeest. Black silk.
Coffee spun into threads. Night rain. Galinda, not
given to metaphor on the whole, found Elphaba’s
hair entrancing, the more so because the girl was
other wise so ugly.” (pg.95)
Elphalba
 Elphalba always stands out because of her skin
color but can her skin color signify something more
in depth?
Awkward Moment
““My father is a unionist minister,” said Elphalba “I’m
just curious what its all about, that’s all.”
“Why don’t you just ask him?”
Elphalba didn’t want to answer. Her face took a slid
waiting look, like that of an owl just about to go for a
mouse.””(pg.102)
Evil VS. Good
“I’m not interested in it. Its just that the early sermons
are all on about. So I’m thinking about what they are
thinking about, that’s all.” (pg. 103)
What thoughts does this stir up for you? Do you see it
as a foreshadow or is this simply Elphies curiosity?
“Well I wouldn’t know an evil thing if it fail on me.”
Galinda said.
Galinda
As you read through out the story what are the reason
for why Galinda didn’t talk much to Elphalba? What
can we say about her personality?
Page 94
After hearing the story Galinda told Madame Morrible
about Ama Clutch did it change your perspective of
Galinda’s character?
After reading about Ama Clutch’s illness description,
do you see someone having it in our world? If so, how
do you think society would act towards these type of
people?
Weather
 “ Galinda did wonder about the capriciousness of
weather. Was it even possible for a storm to pitch
itself against one part of town and overlook
another? “
 What do you think about this scene of the storm
change?
Madame Morrible
 Madame Morrible ended the Quell saying “Animals
should be seen not hear.”(pg.114) Do you think
there was a motive to her saying this at the poetry
event.
Doctor Dillamond
Doctor Dillamond is upset about the comment
Madame Morrible said plus the the events going on in
the Emerald city regarding Animal rights.
Is this this event in the book relatable to actual events
going on in our real world?
Oz
 Do you see Oz being percieved differently in this
book than in the Wizard of Oz?
Boq
 After the Quell, Boq approaches Galinda &
Elphalba. He quickly recognizes Elphalba but she
denies ever meeting him in the past. Why do you
think she reacts this way to someone she knows
from back home?
Ana Clutch
 Ana Clutch is Galindas nanny in college, how
would you feel about having a nanny with you at
all times now that your in college? What does that
tells us about Galinda who always likes having
someone around?
The Letter
In the summer Elphie receives a letter from Galinda
saying that she wishes she could come out and visit
her before school starts again. Boq encorages her to go
but when she arrives she finds out Galinda never
actually wrote it. It was all a prank, if they don’t like
Elphie why would they bother to have her travel so for
no good intent?
Nanny & Nessarose
Toward the end of the book we see Nanny &
Nessarose enter Elphies life once again. We finally get
to see a gimps to Nessarose and Elphalba’s
relationship. Would you consider them to have a
sisterly relationship at all?
Doctor Dillamond
 In this section Doctor Dillamond is found dead. Do
you believe it was a murder? Who would have a
motive to kill someone very well recognized in the
community for his research?
Family History
Elphalba tends to keep a lot to herself regarding her
past. While talking to Galinda one day she talks about
her family, Father, Nessarose, Shell, Nanny and
mother who past away in labor. Knowing the way the
mother was do you think her death was a way to make
up for all her motherly mistakes?
Overall
 So far into the reading of Wicked, has your
perspective of the story “The wizard of Oz” change?
Or if not, why so?
“Frog”
 “You were born a frog. You got sacrificed to the
Clock of the Time Dragon and were turned into a
boy. But on you marriage night when you wife
opens your legs you’ll turn back into a tadpole and” (112)
 What were your reactions to this descriptive scene?
Character perspective
 Giving the information we know so far about
Elphaba point of view, do you think her action truly
represent her personality throughout the book so
far?
Political Aspect
 Giving all the characters that we introduce in
“Wicked” do you think these is a political
connection relating to the Wizard of Oz and the real
world?
Overall

her future as the “Wicked Witch of the west”?
