That's an interesting analysis! Gregory Maguire also explored this premise in his book series The Wicked Years which was adapted into the popular musical, Wicked. Like you, Maguire noted that the Wicked Witch of the West seemed to be unfairly villainized and gave an incomplete perspective on what it meant to be evil. The Wicked Years humanizes the witches of Oz by showing their circumstances and motivations and uses a fantasy backdrop to explore themes about social exile, self-fulfilling prophecy, and propaganda.
