Elphaba’s conflict with Dorothy Gale in Wicked: For Good goes deeper than the familiar story seen in The Wizard of Oz . While their tension echoes the 1939 film, the movie reframes the rivalry with more emotional context and additional thematic ties. As Wicked: For Good proves, the tension doesn't come from stolen magic shoes alone.

With one subtle change between Wicked: For Good and Dorothy's depiction in The Wizard of Oz , the girl from Kansas becomes a symbol of everything Elphaba has been fighting against since The Wizard turned the people against her at the end of Wicked: Part One .
