Maguire expressed in the interview that he "wanted to give that level of complexity to Oz" for it to be "believable," allowing space for "sexual orientation and sexual diversity." This intent highlights how the narrative embraces the multifaceted nature of relationships, and how love can transcend norms, reflecting the experiences of those outside traditional paradigms.
In a notable scene from Maguire’s book, Glinda and Elphaba share a kiss, with Elphaba whispering, 'Hold out, if you can.' This moment encapsulates the emotional depth and complexity of their relationship, suggesting a bond that intertwines friendship with romantic undertones, resonating profoundly with audiences who recognize these dynamics.
