Note

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995) by Gregory Maguire is a reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz. It tells the backstory of Elphaba, the green-skinned girl who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, exploring themes of prejudice, power, and morality. Set in a richly detailed Oz, the novel delves into political and social conflicts, examining what it means to be “good” or “wicked.” Maguire’s dark, complex narrative offers a fresh perspective on a classic tale, turning a villain into a deeply human and sympathetic character.
