Wicked-The Novel...

I've taken a liking to the novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Why so much
to actually blog about it, I don't know. A few days ago I reached that
dreaded section before the climax, where it was drug out and boring.
But Luckily I've made my way out of that section.

As the novel tells of the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, I couldn't
help but relate the various details to those of today.

In the Wizard of Oz, she's already type casted and judged. We think ooo, how ugly, green and wicked she is. And we boo hoo for pale lil Dorothy. BUT, ha haaa, we never stop to think about why she became that way. We really forget that the btch mighta had a life that drove her to wanted to kill urbody!

SO...to get to the point. It makes me think about people today. When people are
unpleasant, ignorant, etc., I like to stop and think dayum, how you get like dis.

Seldom do I judge a person on solitary actions alone, I like to know why
people do them. I like to get a better sense of the person behind the
actions. I guess because it tells you so much.

Not to say I'm saintly cause even after I figure out the whats and whys, on certain occasions, I still don't give a flying fck. BUT it's just good to know. lol.

So now after being 300+ pages into the book, I am on the Witch's side.
Born green, she didn't have a chance in hell. She actually had
compassion for the world, so much so that she removed herself from it.
Now that's deep.

Eager for the ending, I am satisfied with what I've found out thus far.

And despite the boring center of the book, it is a very descriptive, insightful, slightly girl-powerish(to me)and interesting.

So as they say...don't judge a book by its cover, even if it's green. And that sht, my friends, is da truth.
