For Good

Wicked begins with the birth of the Wicked Witch of the West. Her parents are horrified that the baby, who they named Elphaba, has green skin. The shame of her condition influences every aspect of her life. The story continues to show Elphaba in her first semester at Shiz University. She meets her roommate, a bubbly, blonde girl named Galinda, and loathes her at the beginning. As the story progresses, the two become very close friends until their lives take different paths. Elphaba realizes that the Wizard of Oz, whom she once idolized, is actually evil. She chose to go against him even though the rest of Oz hated her for it. Galinda chose ambition and remained on her path to becoming the Good Witch although she was profoundly changed by her friendship with Elphaba. In the end, Elphaba is driven to become the Wicked Witch that everyone knows, and Galinda, now known as Glinda, is the beloved Good Witch.
