That makes sense. *nods* She's already an idea in Wicked, if only as the Wicked Witch of the West, and we're constantly seeing the chasm between Elphaba as she is and Elphaba as she's seen. And it's fitting too, because Elphaba lived her life chasing after an idea that no one else got.
Have I convinced you to read SOAW yet? *g*
You had me convinced a long time ago. *g* I just haven't had the time to drop by the bookstore. Maybe I can manage it tomorrow somehow... *hopes*
