In the Wizard of Oz, a modern American fairytale we see Dorothy, a typical girl from the country maneuver through a strange and foreign land where reality is irrelevant. Symbology and metaphors are used to express similar situations that can be found in those times. The characters and plot all lead up to “a coming of age” for the persons involved. The adversaries symbolize the impediments of reaching the end of this journey for knowledge and wisdom, along with return to reality and peace. They struggle with each others faults, like the people, and reach to improve but are forced through a system, the yellow brick road.
