The Wicked Witch of the East is a fictional character created by American author L. Frank Baum. She is one of the most important characters, but appears only briefly in the classic children's series of Baum's Oz novels, most notably the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). The Wicked Witch was a middle-aged evil witch, an evil woman who conquered and tyrannized the country of Munchkin in the eastern quadrant of Oz, forcing her native Munchkin to slave for her day and night. Her enchanted silver shoes (known for changing to magical ruby slippers in the 1939 film musical) held many mysterious powers and were her most valuable and valuable possession. The witch met her demise when Dorothy Gale's farm landed on her after being swept into the sky by a cyclone. Her old and stated body turned to dust, leaving behind magical shoes that were handed over to Dorothy as their new owner. The classic books of Oz the Wicked Witch of the East were considered more powerful than the Good Witch of the North, but not as powerful as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South. She was also stronger than Mombi, the Evil Witch of the North, as the Good Witch of the North was able to defeat Mombie, but was powerless to overthrow the witch of the east and free the Manchkins. She wasn't in any way associated with the Wicked Witch of the West (as it's done to be in several adaptations), but the league along with it, the Wicked Witch of the North, and the Wicked Witch of the South, Oz is conquered and divided among themselves in four sections, as in the stories in the fourth book of Oz Baum, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz (1908). After the fall of Pastoria, the last mortal king of Oz, the old witch conquered the eastern part of the country of Oz and kept the Indigenous Munchins in slavery for several decades. She lived in a rather modest dwelling deep in the woods in a cottage located somewhere in the eastern quadrant of Oz called Munchkin Country. She was bribed by an old woman who owned a beautiful maid Munchkin Nimmie Amee, who worked for her as a full-time servant, and happened to fall in love with a local forester named Nick Chopper, a woman gave her two sheep and a cow if the witch promised to prevent Nimmy Ami from marrying Nick and leave the old woman, the Wicked Witch of the East decided to axe Nick. The curse thrown at him tragically caused him to eventually turn into a tin wood-burning man when he cracked all his own limbs from one by one, replacing parts that had been amputated with a hollow tin one until he kept from tin from head to toe. Once a man of tin without a human heart, Nick Chopper believed that he no longer had the proper emotions that were needed to love Nimmie Amee-much to the satisfaction of the Wicked Witch. A year later, it was while the witch was in Munchkin Meadows looking for herbs and spices to throw another of her wicked spells that Dorothy's falling farm unexpectedly descended from the atmosphere and accidentally crushed her to death after he was released by the cyclone from Kansas - Who is she? Dorothy asked. She was the Evil Witch of the East, as I said, the little woman replied. She kept all the Munchkins in slavery for years, making them slaves for her day and night. Now they are all free, and grateful to you for your favor. She helped some Munchkins (for example, the original mistress of Nimmie Amee and tinsmith Ku-Klip) with her witchcraft, under certain circumstances (usually at a reasonable price). This indicates that she was a ruler to approach and propitiate, at least some of her subjects. And among her extremely cruel actions was not only the charm of the axe forester Nick Chopper, but also the sword of Captain Feiter, which made him a tin soldier. Adaptations In most adaptations and references to the Wicked Witch of the East, usually in her famous appearance, under the house, only the legs are exposed. Notable recent exceptions are the 2005 ABC television movie The Wizard of Oz and the 2013 Disney theatrical film Oz The Great and the Mighty. The Wicked Witch of the East was featured in the film The Wizard of Oz (1939). Turns out she was killed when Dorothy's house fell on her. The Wicked Witch of the West was not happy with Dorothy for her sister's death. The Wicked Witch of the West can claim to be a magical shoe, the Wicked Witch of the East stocking her feet curl up in the stumps with striped socks, and they disappear under the house, and the shoes are moved to Dorothy's feet. In the original book, the Wicked Witch of the West showed no remorse for the death of her colleague in the East, and she was not marked as related to her in any way. She was only interested in magic shoes (Silver shoes in the book Ruby Slippers in the 1939 film). In The Wizard of Emerald City alexander Melentevich Volkov is called the Witch of Gingham. As in the 1939 film, two evil witches sisters. In Magic Land, it causes a magical hurricane to destroy all of humanity. However, the Good Witch of the North learns about her schemes, and changes the spell to affect only one house and throw it on Gingham's head. Unlike Baum's books, being the formal ruler of The Manchkins, she did little to interfere in their lives and only demanded that people collect food for her. Since her food was snakes, leeches, spiders and other equally disgusting creatures, which Munchkins feared was nonetheless a heavy burden for them. The name Gingema was also used for the Wicked Witch of the East in the March novel Laumer Aunt Em and Uncle Henry in The Lake. In the 1974 Broadway musical Wiz and its Cinematography (1978), the Wicked Witch of the East is named Evvamen (Everman) and terrorizes Munchkins before Dorothy's adventures in Oz begin. In Mad Mad Mad Monsters, it was mentioned by the messenger Norman Count Dracula and Claude the Invisible Man that he heard the rumor that the Wicked Witch of the East would come out of the cake for the monster's bachelor party at midnight. It actually happens at midnight as the Wicked Witch of the East (the vocal effects provided by Rhoda Mann) emerges and flies around on her broomstick. In the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, author Gregory Maguire, as well as in the hit musical version of The Wicked Witch of the East is portrayed as a beautiful but physically invulnerable young woman named Essarose Tropp; Nesa is the sister of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, whose paralysis is caused by her father's attempt to have her mother eat milk flowers (in the game) or she herself takes special medications she acquired (in the novel) so that her second child is not born with the green skin of the Elfaba. Silver shoes, originally a gift from her father, were fascinated by Galinda to allow Nessarose to walk unaided (in the novel, she was born without hands affecting her balance; in a musical, in her premature birth caused by milky flowers, her legs left all tangled, leaving them forever paralyzed.) in the novel Unknown Witches of Oz the Wicked Witch of the East is named Old Sand. In Roger S. Leo of Oz and icon of courage, the Wicked Witch of the East is the main antagonist. She forces the Cowardly Lion, who has just arrived in Oz, to look for the magical Flower of Oz, which is the only thing that prevents her from taking on Oz completely. She is again the sister of the Wicked Witch of the West and becomes furious when she is often mistaken for her sister. She is depicted as a green witch with brown hair and a black cape. However, she does not possess silver shoes or ruby slippers, but she controls the Winged Monkeys. The book was adapted into the 2000 animated film Lion of Oz.
