Outline for mythapoeic essay

Outline

T- The Wizard of Oz can be considered and example of mythopoeia because it consists of a protagonist, a quest in search of truth, and its archetypal colors.
Re+e- In this case the protagonist would be considered the white witch because of her heroic ways also her tendency to be at the right place at the right time. When something bad has happened or is happening she helps Dorothy and her friends out.
Re+e- A quest for truth involves mostly all the main characters because Dorothy basically finds out through this whole thing that there is no place like home, the scarecrow realizes that everyone has a brain like for instance he was the one who developed the plan to enter the castle and take the witches broom. The lion even though the lion was a coward, when the time came in which he needed courage he basically had it, he went in to save Dorothy, even though he was scared he did it anyways. Finally the tin man wanted a heart but the whole time he had a heart because of his emotions, he was constantly crying during diff times in the movie showing his changing emotion which means he has a heart.
Re+e- The archetypal colors include the wicked which who represents evil because she is dressed in black and black symbolizes death and the unknown. Another example is the white witch who represents good and she is dressed in white and white symbolizes good and peace. Also the movie is in black and white then switches to color after the tornado is finished.
