	Movies - Madame Morrible

Madame Morrible is a character in author Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The character also appears in the Broadway musical Wicked
which is based on Maguire's novel. She is the wicked headmistress of Shiz University and a cohort of The Wizard of Oz.

Madame Morrible is an adept sorceress and instructs a sorcery seminar at Shiz. In the musical, she is especially talented at controlling the weather, and is later responsible for creating the cyclone that kills Nessarose (the Wicked Witch of the East) and brings Dorothy Gale into the land of Oz.

In the novel, the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, desires to kill Madame Morrible by bashing her head in with a marble trophy, but is minutes too late and ends up merely assaulting Madame Morrible's corpse. Since the musical is more oriented to younger audiences and families, Madame Morrible is not killed in that adaptation. Instead, Glinda orders the royal guards of Oz to take Madame Morrible to prison.
