Hi how are you.

I have a strange question. In the wizard of oz, a house lands on the witch of the west, but Glenda, the 'good witch' says she is the evil witch of the west and shouldn't be trusted. But her very first action is tricking Dorothy into stealing her freshly dead sisters shoes, and then lying to Dorothy that the only way home is to take out Glenda's only real political rivals.

The only reason we think the witch is evil is because shes kinda ugly, and some other witch that has been shown to be very nefarious told Dorothy shes evil.

Is it possible Glenda is playing the other side, and is in fact the evil one?

Hello!  I'm doing well, thanks for asking! 

It's an interesting perspective you have on the story of "The Wizard of Oz." However, it's important to note that the story is a work of fiction, and the characters' motivations and actions are based on the plot and the author's imagination.

Regarding your question, it's possible to interpret the story in different ways, but it's not explicitly stated that Glenda is the evil one. While Glenda does encourage Dorothy to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West, it's because the Wicked Witch poses a threat to Dorothy and her journey to return home. Additionally, it's worth noting that the shoes were originally the Wicked Witch's, and Glenda may have seen them as a powerful tool to assist Dorothy.

Also, Glenda's character is consistently portrayed as benevolent throughout the story, and her actions seem to be in line with her role as the good witch. Ultimately, it's up to personal interpretation, but there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Glenda is the evil one in "The Wizard of Oz."
