That she feels trapped in regard to the problems between Almira Gulch and Toto is the reason why Dorothy sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Dorothy Gale's pet dog Toto keeps trespassing into and ravaging Almira Gulch's garden. Most recently, he gets in and bites Miss Gulch, who arranges for Toto to be removed from the Gale farmhouse until the authorities decide what to do. Dorothy believes that Toto gets to go where and do what he wants to. It therefore appears to her that her options are limited and she is trapped so she sings the song instead of considering suggestions that she and Toto just not go by the Gulch property.
It was written for the movie "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" because they needed a song for 'Dorothy' to sing in the barnyard before she journeys to Oz. Its meaning is that since she lives in Kansas and there wasn't many flowers, the only thing of real color she had only seen in her life was a rainbow. *It was in the special extended Wizard of Oz VCR tape by the way.*_______________________________________________As originally written, the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", had a prelude:When all the world is a hopeless jumbleAnd the raindrops tumble all around,Heaven opens a magic laneWhen all the clouds darken up the skyway,There's a rainbow highway to be foundLeading from your window paneTo a place behind the sun,Just a step beyond the rainThe prelude makes the song even more poignant. Dorothy wants to go not just to a world that is colorful, but also not a "hopeless jumble".
The part of Dorothy Gale is an appealing role, on stage and in film. The beloved 1939 film and the stage versions are musicals. So the actress who plays Dorothy gets to be vocal, dramatic, comedic, and athletic. For example, there are timeless songs to sing, such as 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'. There are ranges of emotion: shock over the accidental death of the Wicked Witch of the East; fear over the imprisonment in the Yellow Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West; disappointment over the hot-air balloon escape of the Wizard; delight over the acquaintance with three fine friends; and anger over the mistreatment of her pet dog Toto and her three friends. There are moments of fun, such as the battle with the apple trees. And there are instances of athleticism, such as scurrying around for an escape route from the Witch; and dancing down the Yellow Brick Road.
