Scarecrow's Intelligence in Oz
■■■■■
● FeaturedThe Scarecrow's quest for a brain in 'The Wizard of Oz' is central to his character, yet his actual intelligence level is often debated.
●
What People Remember
Many believe the Scarecrow is genuinely unintelligent throughout his journey and only gains a brain, and thus intelligence, from the Wizard.
◉
What's Actually True
In L. Frank Baum's books, the Scarecrow demonstrates considerable common sense and logical reasoning from the very beginning, often coming up with clever solutions to problems. The 'brain' from the Wizard is more of a placebo or symbol.
