I believe the worldview of the Wizard of Oz is a postmodern view. In the story, Dorothy must find the "higher power" or Oz to help her get through the situation she is in. Although Dorothy is completely capable of doing it on her own. Just how Postmodernists believe we create gods to help ourselves through life or gives us a reason for what we do. Dorothy goes through the journey meeting friends to aid her through her trip. When she gets to the power she needs at the end, she realizes it is a fraud and merely a man. The witch tells her she could have done it by herself which ultimately shows that postmodernists believe we can live life on our own but we create gods to make us feel better through life.
