What is the theme of the first chapter in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

The main theme of the Wizard of Oz is to appreciate what you have. Dorothy wasn't appreciative of her life at home, the Scarecrow felt that he lacked intelligence, the Lion felt that he needed more courage, and the Tin Man felt that he didn't have a heart. In the end Dorothy wanted nothing more than to go back home. The others found that they already displayed the qualities that they most felt that they lacked , and that a physical piece of proof wasn't necessary.

'The cyclone' is the theme of the first chapter in 'The Wizard of Oz'. The chapter shows how Aunt Em and Uncle Henry prepare to protect themselves and their property as best they can. Uncle Henry has to worry about the farm animals. Aunt Em does her part and heads down to the cellar. But the cyclone strikes before Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto can reach the trap door.

Answer 3

A theme may refer to the subject or topic that's being represented by the film. The main theme in both the book and the film versions of The World of Oz is the discovery that what you're looking for you find already in yourself. For example, Dorothy and Toto have the means to go back to Kansas, from the day they arrive in the magic world of Oz. For the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East have the secret power to take the wearers wherever they want to go. The Tin Woodman believes himself in need of a heart. But he weeps upon realizing that he accidentally has stepped on a beetle. The Scarecrow believes himself in need of brains. But he identifies jumping as the only way to cross a wide ditch. Flying and climbing are out of the question. The Cowardly Lion believes himself in need of courage. Yet he scares away an armed band of enslaved Winkies.

Answer 4

Hard work, home, humanity and humility are themes in "The World of Oz."

Specifically, hard work connects the beginning and ending Kansas scenes in the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." It generates self-sufficiency and encourages a belief and reality that things are best done yourself. It is accompanied and supported by a commitment to family, friends and home; an interconnectedness with humanity and the all life; and a stance of humble appreciation of one's position in the universe and of the difference that one person can make.
