Questions I have:
Is good just an opinion? Or is good a matter of perspective?
Does the absence of good make someone wicked, or evil by default?
She is well-educated, refined, and has a high moral standing, in regards to Animals, especially. All of these are generally accepted as good qualities- what good does she lack that makes her so Wicked?

Answers I am seeking:
The definition of Wicked proved to be the absence of all that is good. However, the definition of good is a series of opinions that are all formed under different perspectives. Not every person will agree on the nature of a person, and whether they are a good person. I also think that if we were discussing the nature of someone we knew personally, while we might say that they lack anything good, I am not sure that we would go so far as to condemn them of being evil. If one has many unselfish desires, how can they be classified as Wicked? Was the society of Oz just being ignorant? (I'm thinking yes.)
