What is the abyss in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The deep, wide gulch in which the Kalidahsfall is the abyss in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the incident can be found in the original 1900 book edition but not the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." Dorothy Gale comes across the gulch shortly after meeting the Cowardly Lion. The Lion dares to transport Dorothy and her pet dog Toto as well as the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow across the first gulch. But the second, deeper gulch is wider than a lion's leap. The Tin Woodman therefore manages to fell a tree over which everyone gets to safety before the Kalidahs fall to their deaths.
How was the Stork important to the story in the book The Wizard of Oz?
Dorothy, her pet dog Toto, and her friends came to a great ditch. They were able to cross it, one by one, on the Cowardly Lion's back. They then continued down the Yellow Brick Road, through the forested domains of the dreaded part-bear, part-tiger Kalidahs. The five friends came to a waterbody that was way wider than the Lion could leap over. So the Tin Woodman cut down some trees and made a raft. As the five friends were rafting across the river, the Scarecrow got his pole stuck in the river bottom's mud. He was left clinging to the pole in the middle of the river. The raft followed the prevailing current, and so the four proceeded without the Scarecrow. But shortly thereafter they met the Stork, who flew back to grab the Scarecrow off the pole and leave him on the riverbank with his friends.
What is the conflict of the movie wizard of oz?
Dorothy wants to go home. she follows the yellow brick road that will lead her to the wizard of oz. on the way, she meets the scarecrow, tin man and a lion. they travel together to find the wizard of oz.the wizard tells them he will grant them their wishes if they kill the witch of the west. when they did, the wizard gave all the fellows all their wishes, but he says Dorothy's wish is impossibe. but of course Dorothy geta to go home with the help of her magical shoes she got when she arrived and her house landed on an evil witch. So the conflict is Dorothy vs the witch of the west ***EDIT*** Are you talking about Dorothy's conflict in the film version or in the book, as there could be differences. I read the book, but it has been a VERY long time, so I don't really recall much of it. I've watched the movie almost religiously since I was a kid, though, SO the conflict... I'm afraid I have to disagree with the first answer. The real conflict is not that between Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, but of Dorothy discovering that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the rainbow. Her idea that somewhere far away from the home she is used to (which is portrayed as plain, drab, and altogether boring, where her flights of fancy aren't appreciated, and she seems to always be in some sort of trouble with her aunt or Miss Gulch)- would be much better than staying where she is. However, once she finds herself in Oz, Dorothy lands herself in the worst trouble she has ever been in and needs to find a way home. The thing she faces is that she must learn that there really is no place like home before she can actually return to Kansas. She needs smarts, heart, and courage (taking the form of her three friends, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion) in order to get there. (Also, in the film, the Man Behind the Curtain- or the Wizard- posing as the Great and Terrible Oz DOES offer Dorothy a way home in his balloon. However, it takes off without her due to a mishap, leaving Dorothy stranded. This is when Glinda reappears and tells Dorothy she has had the power to return home the entire time because the slippers she wears have the magical ability to send her back to Kansas. All she has to do is click her heels 3 times and say "there's no place like home" )
What is the comparison between 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and 'Alice in Wonderland'?
Superficial similarity in main character and plot is the comparison between "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."Specifically, the main character in each story is a little girl. It involves Dorothy in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and Alice in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The main plot likewise revolves around getting lost in a magical land and successfully finding one's way back home. Thus Dorothy spends time in the magical lands of Oz, and Alice wanders through the lands at the end of the rabbit hole, until each other gets back home.

What were the conflict in the wizard of oz?
The conflicts in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' were the equivalents of struggle, with actions and reactions on both sides. For example, Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and their three friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion were chased by the Kalidahs. The Tin Woodman cut down a tree so that the five friends could cross over a deep ditch. Once on the other side, he severed the tree from the bank. The Kalidahs therefore fell to their deaths below. Another conflict played out at the time of the deadly poppy field, between the Queen of the Field Mice and the wildcat, and between the wildcat and the Tin Woodman. The great, yellow wildcat was chasing the Queen. The Tin Woodman ended the struggle by beheading the wildcat. More conflicts took place in the Yellow Winkieland of the East. The Wicked Witch saw the five friends in her country. Wolves were called to tear them to pieces. But the Tin Woodman beheaded all of the wolves. Wild crows were called to blind the five friends and tear them to pieces. But the Scarecrow wrung all of the crows' necks. Black bees were called to sting the five friends to death. But the Tin Woodman broke the stingers with his all-metal body. Enslaved Winkies were called to spear the five friends to death. But the Cowardly Lion scared all of the Winkies away with his ferocious appearance and roar. It was only with the Winged Monkeys that the Witch appeared to have won the battle against the five friends. But the tide turned inside her Yellow Castle. The Witch made Dorothy trip, and grabbed one of the girl's magic Slippers. But Dorothy threw a bucket of water on the Witch, who promptly melted into nothingness. Other conflicts took place in the land of the Fighting Trees, and the Hill of the Hammer-Heads. The Tin Woodman won the fight against the trees by chopping off branches. Dorothy won the fight against the Hammer-Heads by calling in the Winged Monkeys for safe transport into the Red Quadling Country of Glinda the Good Witch. Some might see conflict in the great, old forest against the Giant Spider. But that was one-sided. The Cowardly Lion killed the sleeping spider. So there was an action, but no defense or reaction possible from the vulnerable victim. Others might see conflict in the sense of an internal struggle. An example of this mental kind of struggle was within the mind of the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard decided that the problems of the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman could be solved through his imagination. But he concluded that imagination wouldn't get Dorothy's problem solved. He tossed and turned the challenge over and over in his mind until he finally came up with the solution of a hot-air balloon ride back to Kansas and Nebraska.

Who was the kindest character in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
In the original book and in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, the kindest character in terms of words spoken, and intentions expressed, may have been the Tin Woodman. For he wanted to harm no one and no thing. But he ended up engaging in harmful albeit defensive actions, such as chopping down the bridge that sent the part-bear part-tiger Kalidahs down to their deaths on the rocky gulf below; decapitating the wolves that the Wicked Witch of the West had sent against Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, the Tin Woodman, and the Scarecrow; and beheading the Great Yellow Wildcat that was terrorizing the Queen of the Field Mice. But there are two other characters - one in both the book and film versions, the other only in the book - that carry out only kind words and deeds. Unlike the Woodman, they don't tell us their feelings, motivations, or thoughts on the subject. But their actions are kind, to friends and strangers. One is Glinda the Good Witch, who protects the five friends from the deadly poppy fields in the film version, gets Dorothy back home in both the book and the film, and frees the Winged Monkeys from the enslaving powers of the Golden Cap in the book. The other is the Queen of the Field Mice. Her strategy in life is to outrun her foes, such as the Wildcat, not to harm or kill them. She has had bad experiences with dogs and lions. But she's openminded enough to see that there are exceptions, when so told in the cases of Toto and the Cowardly Lion. In return for the Tin Woodman saving her life from the Wildcat, she graciously rescues from the deadly poppy field the Lion, who is a member of the group of enemy animals against which she must be ever vigilant.

Which actor played the part of the Tin Woodman?
The Tin Woodman is a character in the original book, and the 1939 film version, of The Wizard of Oz. He begins life, in human form, as a woodchopper. He becomes the lover of a beautiful Munchkin girl, who loves him too. But she lives with an old woman who doesn't want to lose the girl's company and hard work about the house. And so the old woman persuades the Wicked Witch of the East to cast a spell on the Woodman's axe. As a result, each blow of the axe takes away a body part, which is replaced by the equivalent in tin. The Woodman ends up losing all four limbs, his head, and his torso. Once he's a man all of tin, and has no actual heart inside, he mistakenly thinks that he can no longer live like other men, or love and be loved. But the Woodman meets up with Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and their friend the Scarecrow. He becomes their friend. And he decides to go with them, and subsequently the Cowardly Lion, to the Emerald City of Oz for help. There, he's a petitioner for help in getting the heart that he already has, from the humbug Wizard of Oz. Along the way, he's the savior of his friends. For example, he cuts at a tree, so the part-bear part-tiger Kalidahs who threaten the five friends fall into the rocky gulf below. Then he cuts down small trees to make a raft, to get his four friends across a deep, wide river. He beheads the killer wolves sent, by the Wicked Witch of the West, against the five friends. Then he covers his friends with the Scarecrow's straw, and stands firm against killer bees sent by the Witch. The bees break their stingers on his tin body, and die. And he cuts at the Fighting Trees, to get his friends through the forest and, ultimately, on to the Red Palace of Glinda the Good Witch of the Quadling Country in the North. He also is the savior of the Queen of the Field Mice. For he cuts off the head of the Yellow Wildcat that's terrorizing her. In so doing, he becomes once again the savior of his friends. For the Cowardly Lion falls asleep in a deadly poppy field, and is too heavy to be moved. And so the Tin Woodman calls in the favor from the Queen, who has all of her mice pull the Lion out to safety, and to continued life with his friends. And he becomes the Rulerof the Yellow Winkie Country of the West, with the death of the Witch.
What is the basic idea of the story the Wizard of Oz?
According to The Wizard of Oz, the doers of evil may be craftier in their own time than the doers of good. But that doesn't mean victory. For the original book, and the 1939 film version, of The Wizard of Oz are on the side of the goodness and innocence of Dorothy Gale and her four friends over the evil and delusions of the witch-driven hordes of wolves, enslaved Winkies, crows and bees; the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West; the part-bear part-tiger Kalidahs; the Great Yellow Wildcat; the Giant Spider; and the Fighting Trees. As the Leader of the Winged Monkeys says upon seeing the protective mark from the kiss of the Good Witch of the North on Dorothy's forehead, ... the Power of Good ... is greater than the Power of Evil."
What were the names of the major places such as the poppy field and the wicked witch's castle that they visited in The Wizard of Oz?
In the original 1910 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale's farmhouse is carried by a cyclone all the way from Kansas to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Dorothy and her pet dog Toto land in the Blue Munchkin Country of the East. As they trudge down the Yellow Brick Road, they meet the Scarecrow in the surrounding farmland, and spend the night in a small cottage by the wayside. The three then meet the Tin Woodman where the Road is flanked by trees. And the four then meet the Cowardly Lion where the Road goes through a dark, scary, thick forest. The five friends cross two deep, wide ditches to escape the bear-bodied, tiger-headed Kalidahs. On the other side of a wide river is the poppy field. Dorothy falls asleep, and is carried away from perpetual sleep by the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The beautiful, graceful Queen of the Field Mice helps the four friends rescue the bulky, heavy Cowardly Lion from sleep eternal. The five friends pass through farmland, and spend the night at one of the attractive, roomy farmhouses. The next day, they reach the Emerald City, where they are admitted to the Emerald Palace. From the Palace, the five friends head towards the Yellow Winkie Country of the West. They take a break in the neglected, rough, uninhabited countryside. The Winged Monkeys capture them, but take only the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, and Toto to the Yellow Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. Once Dorothy kills the Witch, she has the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman brought to the Castle to recuperate from the injuries inflicted when their respective destrawing and dropping on the rocks by the Monkeys. The five friends start back to the Emerald City, but decide to call upon the Monkeys for a direct flight to the Emerald City. In the City, they once again gain admittance to the Emerald Palace, and thereby the Throne Room of the Wizard. When the Wizard leaves in his hot air balloon, the five friends head southward for help from Glinda the Good Witch. They go through fields, the wood of Fighting Trees, the Dainty China Country, and the Great Old Forest. They catch a direct flight over the Hill of the Hammer-Heads, and into the Red Quadling Country of the South, by way of the Winged Monkeys. From the Red Palace of Glinda the Good, the five friends separate. The Tin Woodman goes back to rule from the Yellow Castle of the Winkie Country of the South. The Scarecrow goes back to rule from the Emerald Palace. The Lion goes back to rule in the Great Old Forest. And Dorothy and Toto go back home to Aunt Em, in the new farmhouse built by Uncle Henry, in Kansas. In the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's farmhouse lands on top of, and kills, the Wicked Witch of the East. In thanks, she and her pet dog Toto are invited into the Munchkin village. As they travel down the Yellow Brick Road, they meet the Scarecrow, then the Tin Woodman, and finally the Cowardly Lion. The five friends almost fatally are sidetracked when they go through the poppy field. They visit the Emerald City, and get into the Emerald Palace of the Wizard. They leave the Palace for the Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. Almost immediately, they see a sign that reads 'I'd turn back if I were you'. They trudge on through a wilderness until they're captured by the Winged Monkeys. The Winged Monkeys drop the three friends, and carry just Dorothy and Toto to the Witch. But Toto runs away, and brings the three friends to the Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. After killing the Witch in self-defense, Dorothy leaves with Toto and her three friends for the Emerald City. In the City, she sees the Wizard take off in a hot air balloon, and then Glinda the Good appear. Dorothy uses the secret power of the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to get back to Kansas. The movie ends with her in the family farmhouse with Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and Toto.
Whom does Dorothy meet first in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
Dorothy meets the different characters in The Wizard of Oz, because of being stranded in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Her family's farmhouse is carried away, from home in Kansas, to the Blue Munchkin Country of the East. A welcoming committee of three Munchkins and the Good Witch of the North advises her to take the Yellow Brick Road, to get help from the Wizard of Oz. Along the road, she and her pet dog Toto make friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. Each one of the five friends has dreams and requests to be realized. And so they meet the Wizard of Oz, and then Glinda the Good Witch of the South, in order to have their wishes fulfilled. In seeking audience with first the Wizard, and then with Glinda, the five meet enemies such as the Wicked Witch of the West, and the part-bear part-tiger Kalidahs. And they make other friendships, such as with the great Forest's inhabitants whom they save from the clutches of the Giant Spider.
