When Elphaba gets invited to visit The Wizard in Emerald City, she asks Glinda to accompany her.
However, Glinda choosing to remain in Emerald City showcases how her and Elphaba are drastically different characters.
Since practically no one understandswhy Elphaba has green skin, she is usually treated as an outcast in society.
This can even be seen when she first meets Glinda inWicked.

Together, they could have convinced other students and possibly some teachers at Shiz University to join their cause.
Overall,Glinda’s support would make Elphaba’s journey inWicked: For Goodmuch easier.
However, Madame Morrible’s lies would only work for so long if Glinda publicly supports Elphaba.
This will be a reason for Glinda to further resent Elphaba and choose not to work with her.
However, this could have been avoided if Elphaba and Glinda stayed together at the end ofWicked.
Without a doubt,Fiyero would believe everything they say about The Wizard and Madame Morrible.
It seems clear that Elphaba and Glinda would have much happier endings if they worked together.
Elphaba could have cleared her name and her and Glinda could have been lifelong friends.
