bullet::::- in the 2013 disney film "oz the great and powerful", the wicked witch of the east, evanora, is the main antagonist. she was portrayed by rachel weisz. in this version, the witch is the older sister of theodora, the wicked witch of the west (mila kunis), and is at war with glinda, the good witch of the south (michelle williams) for control of oz. she originally portrayed herself as a good witch, and had been an adviser to the former king of oz, whom she murdered, so that she could be in charge of the emerald city herself. evanora deceived oscar diggs by framing the king's daughter glinda for the murder and telling him that glinda is the wicked witch instead of herself, which resulted in glinda being outlawed from the emerald city and retreating to the south. evanora manipulates her sister, who is in love with oscar diggs (james franco), and ends up transforming theodora into the wicked witch (of the west, eventually). evanora is later fooled and scared by oscar's tricks and banished from the emerald city. before she flees, glinda encounters her and the two witches fight. evanora seems to have an upper hand, but glinda then crushes her emerald necklace, the source of her power, and the wicked witch's youthful and beautiful appearance turns into that of a hideous old crone, which glinda believes is a reflection of her true nature. furious, evanora tries to attack glinda, but she is blasted out of the window. evanora is then carried away by her last flying baboons, but not before swearing a personal revenge on glinda for foiling her. the emerald necklace she wore enabled her to project her power from her very fingertips in a form that resembled green lightning. the magic shoes that the witch would ultimately become associated with are not even discussed in this film, nor does she officially become the wicked witch of the east during the story, which ends with the wizard taking over the emerald city. this is one of the significant differences from l. frank baum's original books, in which the wicked witches of the east and west were already ruling the munchkin country and the winkie country by the time the wizard first arrived in oz.
