Post your comments about these selections here.

Wicked uses familiar characters to tell a new story. In what ways are Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and others the same? In what ways are they different?

Wicked opens with the witch overhearing Dorothy and friends gossiping about her. How does this set the tone for the book?

What is the significance of Elphaba's green skin in the story? What does it represent in our society?

What is important about the Clock of the Time Dragon? What is truths emerge when Elphaba encounters it again at the end of Wicked?

How does social class define Oz? What is the role of animals? Why does Elphaba fight for them?

Wicked examines the nature of evil. Is Elphaba evil? Are her actions? Is there such a thing as evil? What is it and how does it manifest itself?

Rate Wicked on a scale of 1 to 5.
