Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: what is the main problem for the play wicked

The Wizard is taking rights away from Animals. (Animals look like regular animals but Animals have the ability to think, talk, learn just like a human.) for years in Oz they were treated as humans but when the Wizard took power he began change the Ozians view of Animals and taking their rights away so that's the big problem.

Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero all attend Shiz University.

The novel is a political, social, and ethical commentary on what good and evil really are. It takes place in The Land of Oz, before Dorothy dropped in. The story centers on Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who grows up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Gregory Maguire fashioned the name of Elphaba (pronounced EL-fa-ba) from the initials of Lyman Frank Baum, L-F-B. The story is divided into five different sections.

The main problem: Something Baaaad is Happening in Oz. Actually, it is rather political but not in the same way as the novel. It is revealed at the end of the first act that the Wizard, who has no powers of his own, in an effort to unite all of Oz behind a common enemy, has decided the Talking Animals are to be banned from their positions. Elphaba, the green girl from Munchkinland, has an innate talent for magic and a love of all oppressed creatures (having been tormented and oppressed herself). In her desperate attempts to improve the lives of those around her, her efforts are misunderstood or go awry causing Ozians to think her Wicked.

They attend SHIZ university.
