the way Glinda’s name change happens in the book is just so much more it always makes me a little upset of how shallow it is in the musical
like it’s more or less a trauma response for her. Because it’s still more or less because of Dr. Dillamond, but it’s because Dr. Dillamond was murdered
And its not only “I feel bad about getting upset that Dr Dillamond said my name wrong” but it’s also like, a response to Glinda realizing the kind of world she’s in
Because Glinda is the only person who would immediately know that Madame Morrible was responsible.
Because the only witness was Ama Clutch, who immediately upon witnessing it fell ill with a relapse of a disease that she supposedly had, and the only people who knew about this supposed fake illness was Galinda and Morrible.
And then suddenly Ama Clutch has it for real and right when she could reveal what happened to Dr. Dillamond?
Glinda obviously knows that Morrible is involved because they point out immediately that she won’t go to see Morrible anymore and when she tries to reassign her and Elphaba to the main dormitory, Glinda just accepts it when she had been repulsed by the idea before. It’s Elphaba who has push against that and to get Nanny (and Nessarose) to Shiz so that they can stay roommates and “preserve Glinda’s dignity.”
Like Galinda would never have let herself meekly get shuffled in with the common students. That’s what got her in this in the first place.
But Glinda knows shes in a dangerous world with dangerous people who can and will use her. It’s not all social climbing and polite company, it’s two people she knew having their lives ended and her being directly tied up in that, and knowing that she knows who did it and that she can’t do anything.
It’s a very, very scary world suddenly and that’s the reason why Galinda makes way for Glinda. She can’t be a naive girl anymore and literally has to become someone else to go on
