Wicked the novel vs. Wicked the musical (2/?) 

She's also coming into this with a lot of baggage from the events of the musical. She's spent her entire adolescence and young adulthood up to this point putting on a persona rather than exploring who she is and what she wants, likely to the point where she doesn't even know what 'being herself' would mean. And then you have to bear in mind the last time she let her emotions get the better of her and lashed out, it led to Nessa being crushed by a house, Fiyero being beaten to death by the Gale Force and (albeit less directly) Elphaba being melted into a puddle. From her perspective, her getting angry and failing to repress that led to the deaths of three people, including her fiance and the only person she ever considered a real friend. What she's going to take from that is, because of her political and social position, she can't afford to show negative emotions publicly. And she's coming to this conclusion at a time when she's riddled with grief and guilt, so this can only end well/s.

They love each other, thank you very much.
