My very first book written in 2001 was a study of the evil witch in the movie, the Wizard of Oz. I always told people, before and much more after writing that book, that this movie by MGM was not a story suitable for children as the Witch was a Dark Disordered Slasher. (there was also information in the book on
Dorothy gathers her inner soul helpers, the Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow
The aunt, the uncle, and the Wizard all sold her out: allowed her to be thrown under the bus. They were bungling, distracted, and not aware of how we "sell others out". Yes, in standing for Dorothy, being truthful, and saying, "No, this will not happen on my watch", we come up against the fear they were not willing to face:
A witch slasher, a few clips.
But, the Slasher, Witch, AND Dark Disordered Psychopath, have one needed end: ended. For the Witch, it was complete dissolution, dissolving, and DEATH by accidental water.

From Oxford Google:
Whatever the conclusion for slashers, it must be Final.
Lessons from the Witch include the needed disintegration, a liquification of wasting away, totally gone.

There are variations for this in Horror Movies. In simple terms, the vampire and zombie have a simple solution: cut off or destroy the head. It seems simple, but in movies that's hard one to comprehend and "just do". Many get lives lost before this is done.
I'm Melting. The Wicked Witch of the West.
Melting. Dissolved. Destroyed. Gone.
Note, the Witch is often symbolic and Mythic Archetype M.A. of the energy, force, and psyche of the Woman gone wrong, evil, bad. This is the Dark Disordered woman showing up as
entrenched Narcissistic Personality Disorder
and
Psychopath
There are some differences and difficulties ferreting out the women Dark Disordered, so check back for the posts on this.
And, male and female Dark Disordered have their puppets. In this movie, they are the Winged Monkeys, that do the dirty work for the Darks.
