hey now, storming the witch's castle was quite a caper. and
knocking out those guards? of course Dorothy's not hardboiled
herself, as her Kansas farmgirl roots indicate; Dorothy is
the femme fatale. But her three friends
- the yellowbrick road clearly represents the mean street
through the corrupt urban jungle; the lion is a lion but he
is not himself mean; the tinman is all metal and yet
untarnished, the scarecrow is made of straw the corruptible
and transient stuff of mortal life yet when he encounters
fire he is unafraid -
and don't get me started on Toto -
