Questions I have:

Was even "the Wicked Witch of the West" born 'wicked?'
Was she born 'good?'
Was she ever 'wicked' at all, or was she just different from the rest of her community.
Did she simply understand more about her society?

Answers I am seeking:
The absence of all that is good. The presence of something evil. Using the definition of Wicked provided here, along with other words listed in the reference device (such as good, since Wicked seems to be the absence of that) form your own opinion on whether good and bad are determined by a person or their society. More so, are you born "good or bad," do you decide your moral status, or does your society make that decision for you? The highlighted words are the ones that I find most relevant to direct the focus towards this answer.
