Summary: Elphaba's thoughts on Oz and how they're forcing her hand.
Silence forced is more than not speaking your mind because of fear. It's control lost, taken away when you thought it was something you could never lose. Power superseded, given to another against your will. How can they think this is right? What makes them think they have the right? No one has the right to subjugate another. Not even if they have the might.
Dehumanizing. Demeaning. How can they keep doing this? How would they like it if I did this to them? I have the strength, the magic, I could make them bow and scrape before me just the same. Lock them all away in boxes and take away their names.
Maybe it's time. Time to take a stand. Time to make them see. I could take away their will and silence them the same. I could do it all. I could make them crawl. I could be the wicked witch they all think me to be. I could so easily. I could.
But I won't.
I won't stoop to their level. They've twisted Oz against me. I won't play into their hand. They think they have control, and that all will bow to them. The time has come to make a change. A change that begins...
Within me.
