Glinda is the Good Witch of the South and is played by Miss Piggy, as are her sisters the Good Witch of the North and the two Wicked Witches. In keeping with the traditions of Muppet films, she is attracted to the Scarecrow (played by Kermit the Frog).

I’m melting, melting. Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world. destroy my beautiful wickedness.

The Wicked Witch of the West (or Witch of the West, or Wicked Witch for short) is a fictional character invented by L. Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz Legacy. In Maguire’s story the Witch’s name is “Elphaba” who is green due to her mother consuming “Green Miracle Elixir” while she was pregnant with her.

These series of events all reveal the inherent evil and true wickedness of the Witch who craves nothing but power. Greed is her primary motivation. The Witch is unsuccessful at stopping Dorothy from reaching the Wizard, but in a twist of fate the Wizard charges Dorothy with disposing of the Witch.

She is once again the sister of the Wicked Witch of the West and becomes infuriated whenever she is- frequently- mistaken for her sister. She is depicted as a green-skinned hag with brown hair and a black cloak. However, she does not possess the silver shoes or ruby slippers, but she does control the Winged Monkeys.

Frank Baum wrote four races into The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – Munchkin, Winkie, Quadling, and Gillikin.

Powers and Abilities Spellcasting: She is a very powerful sorceress capable in casting spells and curses, as shown when she created a cursed poppy field to send Dorothy and her companions to sleep. Pyrokinesis: The witch is able to create destructive fireballs using her hands.

She first appears in Baum’s 1900 children’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and is the most powerful sorceress in the Land of Oz, ruler of the Quadling Country South of the Emerald City, and protector of Princess Ozma….Glinda the Good Witch.

The unnamed taller blonde man forcefully argues Glinda was not a witch, but rather a princess. He states she “wore a crown and came down in a bubble” which qualifies her to be a princess.

Why DID the Wicked Witch Melt? It has long been assumed that the reason why the Wicked Witch of the West melted when splashed by a bucket of water was due to the particular nature of the Witch. It is that conclusion I wish now to dispute.

Thus, water brings an end to hostile or malign nature. Baum himself lived in Aberdeen, South Dakota, from 1888 to 1893, and so was well aware of the Great Plains symbolism. Tying this all together, we can say that water represents life, while witches are the apotheosis of death and decay.

The Witch lusts after the silver shoes but “was too much afraid of the dark to dare go in Dorothy’s room at night to take the shoes, and her dread of water was greater than her fear of the dark, so she never came near when Dorothy was bathing. Indeed, the old Witch never touched water, nor ever let water touch her in any way.”

Look out–here I go!” With these words the Witch fell down in a brown, melted, shapeless mass and began to spread over the clean boards of the kitchen floor. Seeing that she had really melted away to nothing, Dorothy drew another bucket of water and threw it over the mess. She then swept it all out the door.
