  • Baum's Dorothy and the Power of Identity
    Pay 1 Camille Pay Baum’s Dorothy and the Power of Identity Discussions of Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz have highlighted the relationship between Dorothy as an individual and Oz as a whole. When this relationship is put into the context of change in American identity, one can see how Dorothy’s identity connects to the new- found identity of the middle-class American. Just before Baum wrote The Wizard , American identity had gone through a large shift. Because of a greater wage for the rising middle class, individuals found themselves playing a key role in their communities. Of course, there was a tension between the old American identity and the new American identity; and, dealing with this tension became the duty of authors (“American” 27.) Even as this change in identity was present, critics chose to focus on the political impact of Dorothy as a character in The Wizard . Most critics see Dorothy as the beginning of political change. An example of this is the work of J. Jackson Barlow, who argues that not only did Dorothy commence Oz’s change from an uncivilized land to a civilized land, but that this change was democratic (8). David Emerson agrees that Dorothy’s influence was felt in Oz, but he thinks that Dorothy’s role is to be the “motivating will (fire)” behind her and her companions achieving their goal (5). Littlefield adds to the conversation of Barlow and Emerson by inserting that even though Dorothy was the one to produce change, Dorothy gets involved in the politics of Oz, only to leave Oz to go “home” to Kansas.

  • Scarecrow Now Presented a Very Respectable Appearance, and Although in No Way Addicted to Vanity He Was Quite Pleased with Himself and Strutted a Trifle As He Walked
    Scarecrow now presented a very respectable appearance, and although in no way addicted to vanity he was quite pleased with himself and strutted a trifle as he walked. While this was being done Tip mended the wooden limbs of Jack Pumpkinhead and made them stronger than before, and the Saw-Horse was also inspected to see if he was in good working order. Then bright and early the next morning they set out upon the return Journey to the emerald City, the Tin Woodman bearing upon his shoulder a gleaming axe and leading the way, while the Pumpkinhead rode upon the Saw-Horse and Tip and the Scarecrow walked upon either side to make sure that he didn't fall off or become damaged. Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E. Now, General Jinjur--who, you will remember, commanded the Army of Revolt--was rendered very uneasy by the escape of the Scarecrow from the Emerald City. She feared, and with good reason, that if his Majesty and the Tin Woodman Joined forces, it would mean danger to her and her entire army; for the people of Oz had not yet forgotten the deeds of these famous heroes, who had passed successfully through so many startling adventures. 98 So Jinjur sent post-haste for old Mombi, the witch, and promised her large rewards if she would come to the assistance of the rebel army. Mombi was furious at the trick Tip had played upon her as well as at his escape and the theft of the precious Powder of Life; so she needed no urging to induce her to travel to the Emerald City to assist Jinjur in defeating the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, who had made Tip one of their friends.

  • Chapter 6: the Cowardly Lion
    by L. Frank Baum CHAPTER 6: THE COWARDLY LION All this time Dorothy and her companions had been walking through the thick woods. The road was still paved with yellow brick, but these were much covered by dried branches and dead leaves from the trees, and the walking was not at all good. There were few birds in this part of the forest, for birds love the open country where there is plenty of sunshine. But now and then there came a deep growl from some wild ani- mal hidden among the trees. These sounds made the little girl’s heart beat fast, for she did not know what made them; but Toto knew, and he walked close to Dorothy’s side, and did not even bark in return. “How long will it be,” the child asked of the Tin Woodman, “before we are out of the forest?” “I cannot tell,” was the answer, “for I have never been to the Emerald City. But my father went there once, when I was a boy, and he said it was a long journey through a dangerous country, although nearer to the city where Oz dwells the country is beautiful. But I am not afraid so long as I have my oil-can, and nothing can hurt the Scarecrow, while you bear upon your forehead the mark of the Good Witch’s kiss, and that will protect you from harm.” “But Toto!” said the girl anxiously. “What will protect him?” “We must protect him ourselves if he is in danger,” replied the Tin Woodman.

We encounter these words as children, and then come to appreciate them as adults. Like many children, my memories of fairy tales come from my parents’ bedtime readings of “The Princess and the Pea” and Peter Pan. My most intense memories, however, are of my brother and I snuggled on our worn sofa watching the magic of Walt Disney. I vividly remember squirming with excitement as the opening melody for Cinderella began to play, and then wrinkling my nose in disgust when Lady Tremaine and her selfish daughters were introduced. Like many children, I held my breath when the evil stepmother locked poor Cinderella in the attic, and then sighed with relief as Cinderella was rescued and allowed to try on the sparkling glass slipper. From then on, those four simple words, once upon a time, were inscribed in my memory as a channel to a world of “happily ever afters” and true love, where evil is always vanquished.

  • Chapter 13: the Rescue
    by L. Frank Baum CHAPTER 13: THE RESCUE The Cowardly Lion was much pleased to hear that the Wicked Witch had been melted by a bucket of water, and Dorothy at once unlocked the gate of his prison and set him free. They went in together to the castle, where Dorothy’s first act was to call all the Winkies to- gether and tell them that they were no longer slaves. There was great rejoicing among the yellow Winkies, for they had been made to work hard during many years for the Wicked Witch, who had always treated them with great cruelty. They kept this day as a holiday, then and ever after, and spent the time in feasting and dancing. “If our friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, were only with us,” said the Lion, “I should be quite happy.” “Don’t you suppose we could rescue them?” asked the girl anxiously. “We can try,” answered the Lion. So they called the yellow Winkies and asked them if they would help to rescue their friends, and the Winkies said that they would be delighted to do all in their power for Doro- thy, who had set them free from bondage. So she chose a number of the Winkies who looked as if they knew the most, and they all started away. They traveled that day and part of the next until they came to the rocky plain where the Tin Woodman lay, all battered and bent. His axe was near him, but the blade was rusted and the handle broken off short.
