In the iconic story "The Wizard of Oz," one of the most memorable scenes involves the death of the wicked witch. In this scene, the witch is killed by a falling house. This event occurs after a cyclone transports Dorothy and her house from Kansas to the magical Land of Oz. Upon arriving in Oz, Dorothy's house lands in the Munchkin Country, specifically on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. The impact of the house kills the witch instantly, thereby freeing the Munchkins from her wicked rule. This scene sets the stage for Dorothy's journey in Oz and her quest to find her way back home.
I actually believe that Glinda brought Dorothy from Kansas to get rid of all of Oz's other rulers so Glinda could reign supreme. Dorothy somehow killed the western witch using only water, her house landed on the Eastern witch, the hot air balloon with the wizard just blew away. But why didn't Glinda just get rid of them herself?

This scene sets the stage for Dorothy's journey in Oz and her quest to find her way back home. While the house falling on the wicked witch may seem like a random event, it is an important part of the story's narrative. It serves to establish Dorothy as a powerful protagonist and highlights the magical and fantastical elements of the Land of Oz.
I have a theory that changes the Wizard of Oz!
Okay, so I was watching the Wizard of Oz, and I noticed the extreme similarities to Alice in Wonderland and Coraline, like how there's a female protagonist and non female antagonist, etc. It then occurred to me that the wicked witch of the west wasn't the villain! The good witch was!
She waited until the end to tell Dorothy about the shoes, just like how other lying female protagonists lie in Coraline and Alice in wonderland.
Let's see. She sent Dorothy on a deadly mission to the wizard who asked her to kill the wicked witch. That's not how good guys work.
The good witch was inexplicably right there when the good witch of the east was killed by the falling house. I wonder. How does a house stay intact in a tornado and "coincidently" land on a witch? I fully believe that Glinda the good witch has the capability to use this kind of magic.
I also wonder how the hot air balloon containing the wizard was blown away so oddly. Unless you consider the fact that Glinda immediately showed up afterwards.

But why didn't Glinda just get rid of them herself?
Well, of course because the munchkins wouldn't want to be led by a murderous psychopath.
The only thing that goes against this conspiracy is that the Wizard of Oz could've been a dream. Although going back to Coraline as a reference, most of the inhabitants of Oz are parallel as characters back in Kansas, except the Good Witch. Sure you THINK she's meant to be Auntie Em. But unlike all of the other characters being played by the same actors in both Oz and Kansas, Auntie Em's actress is NOT the same actress as Glinda's. Which makes me think that it's like Coraline, where there is a truly evil witch faking everything.
Let's see. She sent Dorothy on a deadly mission to the wizard who asked her to kill the wicked witch. That's not how good guys work.
Additionally, it introduces the conflict between Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West, who seeks revenge for her sister's death. The death of the wicked witch by the falling house is a pivotal moment that propels the story forward. It sets Dorothy on her path to meet the wizard and eventually confront the Wicked Witch of the West. Along the way, Dorothy makes friends with the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, who become her loyal companions on her journey. Overall, the scene in which the witch is killed by a falling house in "The Wizard of Oz" showcases the whimsical and magical nature of the story. It also serves as a catalyst for Dorothy's adventure and her eventual triumph over the forces of evil in Oz..
Reviews for "The witch's untimely end: a cautionary tale of set safety"
1. Emily - 1/5 stars - This play was an absolute disaster. The storyline was completely absurd and didn't make any sense. I expected something magical and enchanting, but instead, I got a messy and confusing plot. The acting was subpar, with the characters lacking depth and emotion. The set design was also disappointing, especially the so-called "falling house" which looked cheap and poorly made. Overall, I was extremely disappointed and wouldn't recommend wasting your time and money on this production.
2. Robert - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Witch is killed by falling house from wizard of oz," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The performances were lackluster, and the actors seemed unenthusiastic and disconnected from their characters. The script was weak and didn't capture the essence of the original story. Additionally, the set design was underwhelming, and the "falling house" moment was more comical than dramatic. It's a shame because this play had so much potential, but the execution was just not up to par.
3. Samantha - 1/5 stars - I can honestly say that this was the worst play I have ever seen. The adaptation of "Wizard of Oz" was a complete mess, with the falling house scene being the most laughable moment. The acting was amateurish, and the characters were unconvincing. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and lacked any depth or complexity. Furthermore, the pacing was off, and the whole production felt disjointed. It's a shame because "Wizard of Oz" is such a beloved story, but this rendition was an absolute disaster. Save your money and find another play to watch.
