“Are you born wicked… or do you have wickedness thrust upon you?”
In my new breakdown of Wicked for Good, I dig into how the musical leans into Gnostic myth, moral inversion, and the idea that ‘evil’ is just misunderstood truth.
The Wicked Witch becomes the real hero.
Authority becomes the villain.
And the story quietly flips good and evil in a way that mirrors ancient esoteric narratives.
If you’ve ever felt like these “sympathetic villain” stories are doing more than just rewriting fairy tales… you’re absolutely right.
