I think you have some fundamental misunderstandings of the themes of Wicked
Enlighten me?
You seem to be implying that Elphaba’s opposition to wizard’s status quo is a bad thing, while Glinda’s support is a good thing. Glinda/Galinda’s relationship with Elphaba is what caused her to start thinking beyond herself.
I can see how it seems that way but it’s more about the way they are and how I relate to that. G is better with people, not hiding away and when I’m in a state of gratitude I find it easier to engage with people. Whereas E has the opposite experience and is cast away from the group and I find when I’m in that position I feel envy… I’m not explaining this very well but it’s a “shower thought” I had
Galinda and Elphaba’s names both start with the same letter as gullible and enlightened. The opposing sin and virtue. And Elphie is green like a growing plant.
And this actually relates to the story. More relevant than ever for those of us in countries with rising fascist movements.
