As I’ve aged, I think Glenda was terrible for making her take that dangerous journey instead of telly her about clicking her heels together after she got the shoes.
It’s like she was playing a game and using Dorothy as her game piece.
She seems to have been a member of the political swamp.
Helicopter parent? They have to grow up sometime.

I see the witch of the North as guaroangel figure. She kept her safe and got her home. Dorothy had to learn the hard way to stop despising home and see it as a place she could grow. She was getting into danger. Getting too close to the real witch- Miss Gulch- annoying her, sending Toto into her garden; running away, getting into bad situations, getting caught in tornadoes, threatening her family’s safety
Blame Dorothy for that. It was a dream.
