Wicked
Director Jon M. Chu’sWickedwas one of the most exciting movies of 2024 and has some surprisingly complex relationships between its characters , include that of Glinda ( Ariana Grande - Butera ) and Boq ( Ethan Slater).Wickeddraws inspiration from the Broadway musicalof the same name along with the 1995 book , andThe Wizard of Oz . In theWickedbook and its adaptations , Glinda becomes the Wizard of Oz ’s Good Witch whileBoq becomes the Tin Man , though their characters ' connexion was not established in the originalThe Wizard of Oz .
Now , the 2024 pic has been able-bodied to expand on their feel for each other more than any other version , but it is much more complicated than it might initially seem . Boq express his interest in Glinda almost immediately , but Glinda at long last becomes part ofWicked ’s main erotic love triangle . Whilemany ofWicked ’s characters have unrequited dearest , including Glinda herself , her treatment of Boq and refusal to remember his name is one of the absolved exemplar of the movie ’s unfulfilled romances , though there might be more to the story .
Glinda May Be Getting Boq’s Name Wrong On Purpose
She Is Attempting To Push Him Away
While most Reading ofWickedtheorize thatGlinda gets Boq ’s name wrong because she does n’t careor to add a bit of humor , there actually could be a deeper reason for it . It is jolly clear from the starting time that Glinda is not interested in Boq as more than a booster , but he is totally forgetful to this . Thus , rather than calling him " Biq " simply because she does not deal enough to learn his literal name , Glinda may be scream Boq by the improper name in an endeavour to show that she is not concerned in his advance .
It is totally potential that Glinda does know Boq ’s name but opt to get it wrong in an effort to push him toward developing true look for Nessarose .
It is completely understandable for her to not know Boq ’s name after they first meet , but afterward it seems like they know each other well enough that it is something that Glinda would remember . It is all possible that Glinda does know Boq ’s name but choose to get it wrong in an effort to tug him toward developing reliable feeling for Nessarose ( Marissa Bode).Glinda ’s disinterest in a romantic family relationship with Boq means that she likely does n’t want his attentionat alland is look for a way to permit him down easy .
Glinda Intentionally Getting Boq’s Name Wrong Changes Her Story
It Is A Very Subtle Way Of Rejecting Him
If Glinda is get Boq ’s name incorrect designedly , then it is much genial than it might appear . She may be trying to subtly recite Boq that she is not interested in him as more than a friend or that she wishes he would back off a little to give her more space . Glinda instantaneously say to Boq how she really feels about him might come across as too rough , so she could be try out to spare his feelingsand hop that he will finally lose stake on his own .
Rather than being distant and ego - concerned , seeing Glinda in this sparkle shows a much more empathetic character .
Making Glinda ’s action intentional rather than her own disinterest in learning Boq ’s name could completely change how some witness realize theWickedcharacter . Rather than being aloof and self - concerned , look Glinda in this light shows a much more empathetic character . Not only does she not need to hurt Boq ’s feeling by more brusquely rejecting him , but she also encourages him to go after someone else that she knows has real feelings for him .
Whether Glinda recollect Boq ’s name or not , both understanding of the character show that she does continuously head him on . Even if she is trying to protect Boq , her action show her awareness of how he find about her , but she can not bring herself to definitively reject him . Additionally , Glinda ’s interactions with other characters , including Madame Morrible ( Michelle Yeoh ) and the Wizard ( Jeff Goldblum ) , show that she does not like face-off , soit makes sensory faculty for her character to debar confronting Boq too , even if it is n’t necessarily the right course of action .
Why Boq Is Still Interested In Glinda Despite Getting His Name Wrong Constantly
Boq Does Not See What Is Right In Front Of Him
Despite Boq facing a standardized berth with Nessarose , he is unable to accept that Glinda does not have romantic feelings for him . Just as Nessa loves Boq without see that he be intimate Glinda , Boq loves Glinda while she only has eyes for Fiyero ( Jonathan Bailey ) . In other parole , his love has blinded him to this reality . Even when Glinda repeatedly call him the wrong name , Boq does not seem to take that as an indicationthat she is not thinking about him as much as he is think about her .
Wicked : Part 1 build up Elphaba and Glinda ’s friendly relationship , lead to a tense ending in The Emerald City that sets the foundation for Wicked : Part 2 .
or else , Boq in all probability hop-skip Glinda getting his name damage is a bantam error that she will learn to discipline when she finally come to realize that she has feelings for him too . His love makes him hopeful that she can change for the good , but he never stops to cogitate about whether she will ever want that beloved . As will become increasingly clear inWicked ’s second part , the characters often scramble to have the relationship that they desire with those they screw , and that conduce to dire consequences , especially for Boq .
