r/wicked on Reddit: Glinda and Nessarose’s Demise
August 6, 2024 -
I was thinking recently just how heavily Glinda’s actions impacted Nessa and ultimately lead to her demise. Glinda used Nessa’s disability to guilt Boq into asking Nessa to the dance. She saw her as a pitiful and vulnerable victim and sent Boq after her. This lead Nessa to become completely infatuated with Boq and believing he loved her. Even as Glinda grew warmer and became closer with Nessa she never revealed the truth. Nessa became so insecure that she evolved into the label of ‘Wicked Witch of the East’. Then, after Glinda discovers the truth of Elphaba and Fiyero, she uses Nessa as yet another tool to get revenge in suggesting a rumor about Nessa being in danger to lure Elphaba out of hiding. This of course indirectly leads to Nessa’s death. Throughout the musical Glinda only viewed her as a poor disabled girl that she took advantage of time and time again…ruining Nessa’s life. The treatment of Nessa is some of Glinda’s darkest moments.

This is acting like Nessarose has no autonomy whatsoever. Galinda acted selfishly in a dumb teenage moment to get a boy to leave her alone. It is not her fault the way Nessa reacted tk this and continued to cling to Boq years later. Nessa is truly the most evil of the three witches (she’s my fav character btw I think she’s fascinating), she’s a real political evil and she chooses to oppress the Munchkins to keep Boq from running away (in the musical). She knows Boq doesn’t love her. If she thought Boq loved her, she wouldn’t do so much to keep him. Also, at the train station, Galinda does try to tell her that Boq isn’t right for her but Nessa refuses to listen. These are choices she makes

Evil is a lot more simple than all that. Her death was bait. The only part she had to play was telling Morrible to make Elphaba think her sister was in danger. But Morrible already knows how protective she is. She could have come to that on her own. Her first time meeting with Morrible Elphaba was demanding shared accommodation.

r/wicked on Reddit: Nessarose’s Death
July 20, 2024 -
I’ve read in a few areas that Madame Morrible had involuntarily killed Nessa through the creation of the cyclone. Is it implied somewhere that the house falling in Munchkin land would just cause Elphaba to go and check on Nessa? Or was the intent to kill her in order to lure Elphaba out of hiding? My interpretation from the musical was her intent was murder. Thoughts?

well morrible and the wizard were trying to figure out a way to capture elphaba and that’s when glinda said ‘user her sister. spread a rumour.’ but morrible knew that a rumour wouldn’t do it because elphie is too clever so i think she did intend on killing nessa but to get elphie out of hiding too

Hard to say if Morrible’s powers include launching a whole house to the exact coordinates of a person, but I think that can’t be a coincidence that they were plotting to do something to Nessa and they immediately dropped a house on her.

How the Wicked Witch of the East Connects to Wicked: For Good
In Wicked: For Good, Nessa is the new Governor of Munchkinland, but she's a brutal ruler who has stripped the Munchkins of all their rights (like their ability to leave Munchkinland) in order to keep Boq by her side as her servant. She's not flying around on a broom, and there aren't banners labeling her as a Wicked Witch, but Nessa's wickedness is more sinister.

Nessarose facts for kids
Nessarose's death, caused by Dorothy's falling house, led to many funny sayings among the people of Oz. In the musical version of Wicked, Nessarose is quite different. She is not chosen to be a sorceress. She was not born without arms but uses a wheelchair because of damage to her legs.

What Nessarose Realizes About Boq In Wicked's Ending & What It Means For Part 2
December 7, 2024 - The dynamic between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Nessarose in Wicked is some of the film's most intricate and engaging character work, and the movie's explosive ending takes everything that's been built between these sisters and brings it all crashing down. By deciding to take a stand against the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and his corrupt regime, Elphaba effectively seals her fate as the "villain" of Oz, with Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) announcing to the students of Shiz University that their former classmate has become a "Wicked Witch."

Wicked book spoilers: Did you know in the book, Nessarose is born with no arms & needs constant care to eat, drink, stand, walk with balance, etc. Their father being the Mayor of Munchkinland & a preacher, raises her extremely religious. It's this element that shapes her into a cruel sorceress, using her faith as a guide, she becomes more & more fanatical with time. When her father dies, she takes the seat of mayor & rules ML with this zealotry, earning her name as Wicked Witch of the East.

December 10, 2024 - So, while Nessarose may be called the Wicked Witch of the East, the first Wicked movie doesn't really give any reason for her to be wicked. Nessarose will make some choices in Wicked Part Two that will make her a little less sympathetic, setting the stage for her death.

Wicked Actually Changes Nessarose a Lot (And We’re Glad)
November 28, 2024 - Nessarose has experienced a few seemingly minor changes, but alterations to the character actually make her a far more nuanced and empowering figure. Before the film was released, the creatives behind the picture promised a more nuanced take on its supporting characters, specifically Nessa, and the movie certainly delivers on that promise. From the beginning, Wicked adds a number of noticeable developments to Nessa, including showing audiences a younger version of the character (Cesily Collette Taylor), and even more changes when she arrives at Shiz, She and Elphaba are adamant that Nessa be allowed to care for herself, especially when it comes to the utilization of her wheelchair.
