Miss Gulch Got A Bad Rap

Like Scrooge she was vilified, probably because she was a Jewess.

It was Dorothy and her dog that did all the damage and not just once. Even when represented in alternate form, it was Dorothy who kept the rightful property of the shoes.

Once again lesbians being portrayed in a negative light

To be specific, she was an Askhenazi Jew. Ashkenaz” in Hebrew refers to Germany, and Ashkenazi Jews are those who originated in Eastern Europe. (Sephardic Jews, by contrast, are from the areas around the Mediterranean Sea, including Portugal, Spain, the Middle East and Northern Africa.)

She got a bad rap because she was ugly.

Face it (no pun intended), if Miss Gulch were a knockout blonde, or raven-haired with rosy cheeks, that dog would have been put down, and Dorothy sent to a school for wayward girls, where her flights of fancy would have been beat out of her good and proper.

Remember when Dorothy's aunt says "being a good CHRISTIAN woman, I can't say it."

Aunt Em was anti-Semitic

With that lipless face, pencil-like, curveless body and fragile bird bones she was a Jewess??

Uh, no. That bitch was PWT to the core of her being. Like, grandma at the age of 36 Appalachian WT.

Miss Gulch rode a bike too. She was "green" long before it was hip and the liberal thing to do.

Even the dumb hired hands blamed Dorothy for taking Toto to her farm and letting him run amok.

Aunt Em was an antiSemite. She was all like "Almira Gulch just because you own half the county doesn't mean you can tell the other half what to do. I would tell you a thing or two but being a good CHRISTIAN woman, I can't."

The role that made Margaret Hamilton almost uncastable in future roles, because she was so amazingly good.

I want to find the scene that shows the dildo attached to Miss Gulch's bike that really helped her move up and down both going down that dusty Kansas road and in the sky during the tornado.

You don't get much WASPier than Miss Gulch. She is the classic vinegary New England spinster writ large.

Aunt Em's reluctance to say what she wanted to say to Miss Gulch because she, herself, was a Christian woman is a hint that "fly straight to hell" was probably the thing she had in mind. Of course Miss Gulch actually and quite literally does just that, if the view provided of her in the tornado is to be believed.

I think that even if Miss Gulch survived the tornado, it gave her other problems to think about that permanently eclipsed Toto.

Miss Gulch had to wear depends before they were invented!
