  1. Wicked

  2. The Quadling Glassblower “Shall we go walk by the lake today and maybe you’ll drown?” But, Elphaba would never drown because she would not go near the lake. “Or we might take a walk in the woods today and pick tha last of the winter berries.” Melena was full of guilt at her lack of motherly feeling. “We can put them in a pie. Can we put them in a pie? Shall we, honey?” (33).

  3. Geographies of the Seen and Unseen

  4. Child’s Play “Melena, she needs to get use to other children. She’ll start talking a little bit if she sees other chicks are talking… we must take Elphie to Rush Margins and find small children for her to play with.” “Slow and deliberate as Elphaba is, at least she’s unharmed here! I may not be able to summon much maternal warmth, but I feed her, Nanny, and I keep her from hurting herself! How cruel to inflict the outside world on her! A green child will be an open invitation for scorn and abuse. And children are wickeder than adults, they have no sense of restraint. We might as well fo throw her in the lake she is so terrified of!”

  5. Child’s Play “…if you don’t give her the weapons and armor with which she can defend herself against scorn, she’ll make your life miserable as hers will be miserable.” (Nanny) “No one knows the color of a soul” (Melena)

  6. Darkness Abroad “Horrors” (Elphaba’s first word) “I’m pregnant Frex.” Begin reading pg. 60- “Send the girl in…”

  7. Gillikin Read Galinda I-IV (64-92) • As you are reading add characters to your character chart and their description. Remember, you have just been introduced to most, so leave some room! • Create a VENN diagram comparing and contrasting Galinda with Elphaba. • Write a short paragraph discussing Galinda’s character. • Discuss her presonality • What does she do to fit in • How does the author use foreshadowing in his description of her (give examples) • Do you see her changing in any way? For the good or bad? • Is she a leader or a follower? Does she have the potential to be the other?
