Every character carries a desire, a conviction, or a longing that shapes the way they understand themselves and the world around them.

Within these studies, you are invited to examine the characters of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz beyond the events of their journey. Through observation, interpretation, and written reflection, we will explore the contradictions between what they believe themselves to be and what their actions reveal.

There are no prescribed conclusions. Each study presents questions, competing ideas, and opportunities to reconsider your own interpretations.

Read carefully. Question freely. Arrive at your own conclusions.
