With the Wicked movie coming out, it'd be nice to see an analysis of how wildly different the Broadway musical is from the novel it's loosely based on. Compare characters and their arcs. For example, Fiyero in the musical is like a Disney prince, while the book version was much more serious. Compare plot details. The musical's ending is quite different from the book's. Compare themes. The book goes deep into political and ethical questions; does the musical do these ideas justice?
Good start. However, I would take all this and tie it together with a thesis. For instance, do you think the book or musical is better? If so, angle your article toward that conclusion. Do you think the book and musical are conveying the same overall message, or are they different (or are they "feeding" each other)? Again, think of a thesis to give your article a definite direction. – Stephanie M.3 weeks ago
