This show a whole other meaning to the play! It blows my mind how really... utterly... different she was in the book than in the play! Such as when was born she bit one of the nurses fingers off! And she had to be bathed in oil! wow they talked a lot about the politics in OZ! it is just mind blowing on every page! I am interested in this! It is crazy! She leaves Glinda and never returned. Until Fiyero, Comes and finds her praying.. They go back to her place and "talk"... I immediately threw the book against the wall I was so mad and freaked out! Ps I lost my page!

She couldn't say forgiveness, not to Liir. She started to say 'a soldier,' to make fun of his mooning affections over the guys in uniform. But realizing even as she said it that he would be hurt, she caught herself halfway, and in the end what came out of her mouth surprised them both.

“And of the Witch? In the life of a Witch, there is no "after", in the "ever after" of a Witch there is no "happily"; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword.
