No reason is given as to why the Wicked Witch of the West may or may not hate Glinda the Good Witch in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." Nor is any reason offered in the beloved 1939 movie version "The Wizard of Oz."

But if the hatred exists, then it may be due to the fact that the two witches are different in the ways they rule their respective countries and in which they practice their respective crafts. Such a reason may be guessed at by the interpretation that author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) gives to the initial feud between the two in their youth. Specifically, Glinda is the beautiful, successful popular girl on campus while the green-skinned Elphaba Thropp, the future Wicked Witch of the West, is more concerned about principles than about popularity.

you could listen to that stuff or just watch the play Wicked......its DA BOMB DIGGITY

The source of Dorothy's worst nightmare and most steadfast hope is the role played by Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Glinda gives the slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to Dorothy Gale in the beloved 1939 film version, but not the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz."
