In the upcoming film *Wicked* (2024),

the story unfolds in the Land of Oz, beginning with the citizens of Munchkinland celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the West. Glinda the Good reflects on her past with Elphaba Thropp, who would become the Wicked Witch. Elphaba, born with green skin from an affair involving her mother and a traveling salesman, faces rejection and bullying throughout her childhood.

### Key Plot Points

– University Life: Elphaba attends Shiz University to support her paraplegic sister, Nessarose. There, she meets Glinda (originally Galinda), and despite their contrasting personalities—Elphaba being serious and studious while Glinda is bubbly and popular—they develop a complex friendship. Elphaba’s magical abilities attract Madame Morrible’s attention, leading to private tutoring.

– Social Injustice: The narrative highlights issues of discrimination against talking animals in Oz, as exemplified by Dr. Dillamond, a goat professor who fears losing his rights. Elphaba vows to help these animals after witnessing their plight[1][2].

– Turning Point: After a series of events at a party and a confrontation with the Wizard of Oz, Elphaba discovers that he is not the benevolent figure she believed him to be. Instead, he is complicit in the oppression of animals. This revelation leads her to reject the Wizard’s manipulations and embrace her identity as a powerful witch.

– Conflict and Resolution: The climax occurs when Elphaba decides to fight against the Wizard’s tyranny. She uses her magic to escape from his guards and vows to ignite a revolution in Oz. Glinda supports her decision but is ultimately caught by the guards during this chaotic escape.

The film explores themes of friendship, identity, and social justice, reimagining the classic tale from *The Wizard of Oz* through Elphaba’s perspective as she transforms from an outcast into the infamous Wicked Witch of the West.
