Our Four Main Characters

Dorothy (Guardian)
#stc17
Dorothy was afraid she had lost her way home. “Toto,” she said to her little dog, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” Though never really lost at all, Dorothy felt stranded and alone, and she wanted Oz to return her to the security of her Aunt and Uncle’s farm. “There’s no place like home,” she said.

Scarecrow thought he had no brain. Although the most ingenious of the four, he consider himself witless and worthless, and he wanted Oz to make him smart. “Brains are the only things worth having in this world,” he said.

Tin Woodman believed he had no heart. As tender and sensitive as he was, he felt stiffened with rust and unable to love, and he wanted Oz to help him feel a warm, loving heart beating in his chest. “No one can love who has no heart,” he said.

Lion (Artisan)
#stc17
Lion was lacking courage. Although a powerful, magnificent beast, he had grown cowardly and lost his self-respect, and he wanted the Wizard to give him back his nerve. “As long as I know myself to be a coward I should be unhappy,” he said.
