The wizard of oz - character development

 The wizard of oz - character development


There are articles stating that there's a hidden spiritual meaning about the good witches v bad witches. they say when Dorothy battled with the bad witches it was her fighting with the dark side of her personality and the demons she has inside. And in the end she victoriously melted them by throwing a pale of water over them. 

 water in many religions and spiritual texts is traditionally a symbol of consciousness and spiritual purity. which is what the good witches represent.

the white witch of the north is known as Glinda, who represents the love, light, and guiding spirit that is within us all.

the north in spiritual lore represents attuning oneself to the sacredness and wholeness of the divine guide within us. And this represents the direction of the soul toward evolution.

Once Dorothy had claimed victory over her dark side, it was Glinda, the white witch of the north, who guided Dorothy to go back to Kansas to show that the light inside you guides you.


Glinda is the good witch of the south, sister to Belinda the good witch of the north. Glinda is known as the most powerful of all the witches. In the popular 1939 film Glinda is the good witch of the north. However, that's not how it was written in the play so we stayed true to that. Glinda is the witch that arrives when all hope is lost, she is the light that everybody needed and she knows it. All she did was grace them with her wisdom and she saved the whole story. 

She has a heart of pure gold. she sees her responsibilities as looking after anybody that needs it. Glinda effortlessly spreads love and joy everywhere she goes she really wears her heart on her sleeve. People often question whether she is a witch or a princess because her cartoon like actions and fairy godmother spirit do not correspond in the slightest, to what we view as witches. witches have always been viewed as ugly and cruel like the witches of the east and west, so her and her sister are not what we'd expect.

People describe Glinda as the first American pop-culture figure because of her glamorous persona. When taking on the iconic role of Glinda, I really had to look into what it is that makes her, her. from my research i know that because of the glitter and the diamonds she wears with her fluffy blonde curly hair, mixed with her pink poofy dress and huge silver wand, people see Glinda as the peak of femininity and elegance. 

Glinda has very big characteristics, she is very open and has the confidence to take up a lot of space. She wants everybody to notice her because she knows that the munchkins and ozians and every other creature in the land of oz love her so she isn't afraid to have them all watch her, she loves the attention she gets because she knows she's beautiful. She loves to elegantly wave her wand around and gently moves her arms like a swan queen as if she's living off of the loving vibrations in the air. She gently sways as she listens to show of her sparkles and to show how she's constantly living in the moment. She has her eyes very wide and doey so you can see she only has good thoughts behind them and she always has a gentle smile on her face because she's a loving happy girl. 

Glinda speaks with a very soft and gentle voice. she speaks slowly with compassion, like she really means every word. She has a soft American accent that slightly replicates a 20s Hollywood accent.


Munchkin - Character Development

My munchkin is a stay at home Mother of four named Betsy Boo. She is thirty years old and a house wife to Bobby Boo. She loves all of her children however her favourite is her 8 year old daughter (youngest) because she loves that she still gets to baby her. She loves cooking and baking and singing songs, she loves wearing PJ's but the things she loves the most, are the good witches. she loves how glamorous they are and hoe kind their souls are. she idolises them. She hates the school run because her kids are naughty and she cant keep track of all of them. She despises the bad witches, they scare her. when she was younger the bad witch kidnapped her best friend because she got her lollypop stuck in the bad witches hair. that's why she was so happy when she got squished and why she was so grateful for Dorothy and starts the bow of respect.

Ozian - Character Development

My Ozian is called Livvy and she's been training to work for Oz since she was 4. she's 18 now. She went to summer camp every year where they had intensive studies on Chanting gate keepers. She then picked to major that subject at school and loved oz so much that she made green glasses out of green pipe cleaners and wore them from age 4-15. Then finally she got to work in the emerald city and worked her way up to becoming a chanter. She takes her job seriously but has so much fun with it. in her spare time she loves to read. Her best friend is an Ozian called Molly.
