Sallie’s Comments on Wicked

July 26th, 2013

I was concerned for the children in this story. It didn’t seem that many had very good childhoods! Why did Elphaba neglect her own child, Liir, and then try so hard to liberate Nor? Why did Frex choose Nessarose over Ephie? How could Sarmina allow her children to mistreat Liir? I found myself wanting to scold the parents and then invite these children into my classroom!
