“I see the struggle of “Goodness vs. Wickedness” within the character of Glinda after Madame Morrible forces her to examine her choices with the speech:
“Now you listen to me, Missie. The rest of Oz may have fallen for that ‘aren’t I good’ routine, but I know better. You wanted this from the beginning! And now you’re getting what you wanted. So just smile, and wave, and shut up!”
This realization shifts her gears and propels her to ask forgiveness and repair her friendship with Elphaba.”
