This whole encounter just feels weird. (Wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the West. by Gregory Macguire.)

Since Wicked is so huge in the zeitgeist right now, can we talk about the writing of Fyero and Elphaba’s affair? The whole time I’m just feeling bad for Elphaba. It doesn’t feel completely consensual. It seemed to come out of nowhere honestly. And what the heck are “…thin, expressive breasts.”?
