What role does Glinda the Good Witch play in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The source of Dorothy's worst nightmare and most steadfast hope is the role played by Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Glinda gives the slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to Dorothy Gale in the beloved 1939 film version, but not the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz."
