Best Answer

In the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, the adventures of Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto are a dream. And Dorothy fills that dream with individuals from her real life in Kansas, with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. For example, Dorothy is in constant conflict with Almira Gulch, in Kansas. So, in Dorothy's dream, Gulch becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. In Kansas, Dorothy meets Professor Marvel, who is a fake medium. So, in Dorothy's dream, Marvel becomes the humbug Wizard of Oz. And, in Kansas, Dorothy's friends are three farmhands. So, in Dorothy's dream, farmhands Hickory, Hunk, and Zeke becomes the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, respectively.
