The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Good vs. Evil Quotes

Quote #7

"There lived here then, away at the North, a beautiful princess, who was also a powerful sorceress. All her magic was used to help the people, and she was never known to hurt anyone who was good." (14.24)

What's interesting about this story is that the good sorceress is about to enslave an entire race of Winged Monkeys because of a prank. Maybe good isn't such a stable concept after all.

Quote #8

"Oh, no, my dear; I'm really a very good man; but I'm a very bad Wizard, I must admit." (15.76)

Do you agree with the wizard's assessment of himself? How can he be a good man and a bad wizard at the same time?

Quote #9

"She is kind to everyone. I have heard that Glinda is a beautiful woman, who knows how to keep young in spite of the many years she has lived." (18.34)

It's perhaps worth noting that the Good Witch of the South is young and beautiful. The Wicked Witch of the West, on the other hand, was bloodless and shriveled. How about the other two witches? Do you remember how they were described?
