"Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead"

This quote is from the 1939 motion picture The Wizard of Oz and is sung by the Munchkins after the Wicked Witch of the East is killed by Dorothy's home. The quote is a celebration of the death of the Wicked Witch and the freedom of the Munchkins from her tyranny. It is a minute of happiness and relief for the Munchkins, who have been oppressed by the Wicked Witch for so long. The quote likewise acts as a pointer that evil can be defeated which justice will dominate in the end. It is a reminder that no matter how powerful or wicked somebody may be, they can still be defeated. The quote is a suggestion that even in the darkest of times, hope and justice can still prevail.
