Tin Man's Heart in Oz
■■■■■
● FeaturedThe Tin Woodman's longing for a heart is a poignant element of 'The Wizard of Oz,' but his capacity for emotion before receiving it is often overlooked.
●
What People Remember
Many believe the Tin Man is completely devoid of emotion and empathy until the Wizard grants him a heart.
◉
What's Actually True
Similar to the Scarecrow, the Tin Man displays deep empathy, kindness, and even sheds tears (which rust him) throughout his journey in L. Frank Baum's books, suggesting he already possessed a heart in the metaphorical sense.
