Now it’s been 10 plus years since I actually read wicked—buuut, I’m pretty sure the Thropps are not munchkins. They’re there as missionaries. I understood that line as a show of class btw the two

LiteraryLothario :
Elphaba and Nessarose are technically Munchkinlanders by birth and status, but they don’t match the typical Munchkin look or lifestyle. They’re taller, they don’t have the trademark red hair, and they’re raised apart from everyday Munchkin life. That’s why characters like Boq get called “a Munchkin boy,” while Elphaba and Nessa never do.

Mother Theresa :
My take is the polar opposite direction - I got the impression because her dad was mayor she seen herself as “above” the other Munchkins, almost to the point that class lifted her out of Munchkinhood altogether so to speak? So for her this was her “dropping her standards” by considering someone so “below” her

I took it as just seeing him as almost an object, a thing to acquire. There is also something to consider with the words “we deserve each other”, almost like they both might not find anyone else…

i thought it was like she’d never expect someone from her home to be interested in her cause she and elohaba had always been outsiders in munchkinland

I thought of it as a term of endearment because they were from the same place. like her saying he’s a hometown boy

I think it’s because they are not munchkins, even though they are from munchkin land. In the original 1939 version the munchkins are around 4 feet tall, while even the wicked witch is 5 something.

it's a lot more evident in the book but yes that's exactly what happens behind the scenes

Nessarose grew up in Quadling country, didn't she? In the book at least. From a Munchkin family but they travelled for her dad's work.

I assumed that elphie and Nessa were sheltered most of their life. like private tutor so didn't mix much with people in their immediate community

THANK YOU! I think the line “we deserve each other, this is our chance” says so much of how she sees Boq, aka, hard to love, and if he’s not with her, he’s never gonna find love

This is a great take. I also think she wasn't into Fiyero because she wouldn't be the center of attention with him.
