How does Dorothy fit in to 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

It is as the protagonist that Dorothy fits into "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the protagonist is the main character around whom the story's action centers. That character also may be a hero in the sense of holding great powers and doing great deeds. The preceding descriptions fit the character of Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz." She indeed does great deeds against the wicked witches and for her three traveling companions. Additionally, she can be said to hold great power through the magic of the wicked witch's shoes even though she does not know this until shortly before her story ends.
