This section of the novel elaborates on the characters and what their presence means for the story. Galinda has her meeting with Madame Morrible, and informs her of his misfortune. In other words a bogus made up story to play on Madame Morrible’s sympathy strings. This involved her Ama and how she was unable to accompany her, as well as how she has a strange disorder in which she randomly begins discussions with inanimate objects. As the situation progresses, there is nothing that Madame can do, and the entire situation begins to take a political point of view.
As the relationship between Elphaba and Galinda progresses, there is a sense of mistrust, unkindly behaviour and a non communication. They also seem to have nothing in common. Galinda has made other friends; Shenshen, Pfannee, and Milla. They are girls from the same social class as Galinda.
The story informs the reader that the current leader of Oz, has been the leader for sixteen years. As well as Elphaba’s family has moved to Quadling County.
One nigh during a storm, the girls bond over staying safe and sound in their room. They discuss the text that Elphaba is reading. It a comparison between good and evil. Eventually this begins to bore Galinda, and she falls asleep. She tells her friends what a loser Elphaba is and tries to distance herself from her.
