The Wizard of Oz : Why didn't Glinda tell Dorothy about the fork in the road?

Why didn't Glinda tell Dorothy about the fork in the road?

She is emphatic that Dorothy just needs to follow the yellow brick road. But you can't just follow it if there is a fork!

I think because it doesn't matter which direction you take, you'd still end up in Emerald City.

Maybe each route takes you past different things (the one Dorothy chose led through the forest) but they all end up at the same destination.

I was amazed to learn that Billy Burke was 54 when she played Glinda. 54 was a LOT older then, than it is now.

True. Think about Sunset Boulevard as well.

I agree with that, I just wonder if Dorothy had taken a different direction, would she have still met the same friends or different ones maybe.

She must have forgotten about it or didn't really know as if you remember she travels by bubble, so she doesn't even need to worry about the street.

Re: Why didn't Glinda tell Dorothy about the fork in the road?

Because she's a big jerk lol! Same reason she didn't tell Dorothy she could have been home long before her life threatening journey by just clicking her heels! Maybe she'd use the excuse "Oh she wouldn't have believed me."
