What happened to Madame Morrible?

The final moments of Wicked: For Good show Madame Morrible being taken away by Glinda's (Ariana Grande) army of flying monkeys. It took a long time for the characters to reach this point, and it all goes back to when Madame Morrible was merely a teacher at Shiz University.

The first Wicked movie introduced Michelle's character as someone who could be a mentor for Elphaba, who wished to meet the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) above everything else.

Nothing is what it seems in Oz. When Elphaba finally got to meet her hero, it was revealed that the Wizard was actually the man behind the conspiracy targeting the land's talking animals. The young witch was devastated to learn that her hero wanted to hurt her friends.

Elphaba always wants to fight for the right cause. During a pivotal moment from the first movie, Elphaba escaped from the Wizard and Madame Morrible's grasp.

The witch's escape is the turning point Madame Morrible needed to become an outright villain. Elphaba's former teacher dedicated the rest of her days to antagonizing her in front of the population of Oz. Madame Morrible knew that her former student was more powerful than her in every way.

'Wicked: For Good' got rid of Madame Morrible.

Every good story needs a hero defeating despicable villains. Wicked: For Good presented the darkest version of Madame Morrible. Even Glinda, in her blissful ignorance, could tell that the witch was up to no good. The confrontations between Glinda and her former teacher added tension to the musical's plot.

Elphaba and Glinda love each other desperately. After the Wizard left Oz and Elphaba was able to fake her death, Glinda was left in charge of the country's magical affairs.

Anyone who threatens Elphaba isn't likely to survive Glinda's rage. The charismatic witch immediately ordered the flying monkeys to take Madame Morrible away for her crimes. In the end, most of the Wicked: For Good characters got a happy ending.

Michelle Yeoh is aware of Madame Morrible's jealousy. During an interview with Today, the actor stated, "She didn't have quite the gift and talent as Elphaba did. But at that moment, she thought, 'I found my muse. I couldn't do it, but now I have someone who can help me get to where I think it's for the goodness of Oz.'"
