However, despite their namesakes, this popular theory about the film suggests that this is not the case.
Throughout the film, it’s clear thatGlinda helps Dorothy along her journey through Oz.
First appearing following Dorothy’s arrival in Munchkinland after her house has killed The Wicked Witch of the East.
Glinda then appears to save Dorothy from the poppy spell, cast by the Wicked Witch.
She didn’t even intervene when The Wizard sent Dorothy into The Wicked Witch’s castle.
This suggests thatGlinda had no regard for Dorothy’s safety.
As well as this, The Wicked Witch chased her throughout, and threatened her with fireballs.
Therefore, Glinda had both goodness and wickedness buried inside her.
The audience doesn’t get to see the character when she isn’t grieving.
Based on Frank L. Baum’s book of the same name, The Wizard of Oz follows young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) as she’s swept away to the magical land of Oz. Upon arriving, she falls afoul of a witch, then enlists the help of a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion in order to find the Wizard and get home to her family.
