I've noticed a fair chunk of the 'Salem's Plan' thread is devoted more to the why's than the what's or how's. I decided to start this thread for dicussing why Salem is so intent on destroying humanity and why she hates Ozpin so much.

In my opinion, her faith in the world was brutaly shattered by Ozpin at some point in their past. Due to Beacon's Wizard of Oz motif, Salem might be based on the Wicked  and ​Oz the Great and Powerful ​versions of the Wicked Witch. Something happened to her that drove her over the edge into pure despair, and now all she wants to do is end the world and punish those who drove her so far.
