ENGL 2740 Lecture : Lecture Oct.26
Document Summary
This book is not generally terrifying this is weird because characters get taken apart and put back together. Book is set up like dotty does not belong there, she is happy and funny and uncle is not. Part of the magic of oz is that it is lush and fertile compared to kansas. They are on the same plane of reality. Kansas dryness a lack of life, spark and playfulness. Wicked witch of the west gets killed with a bucket of water, she does not like wetness same with dorthys aunt. A civilized place once had magic but the idea of civilization zapped it out.
