Question

Which point of view is used in the wizard of oz by L.frank baum

Answer 1

The point of view in The Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank Baum is third-person omniscient narrator. This type of narrator knows all the events and all the feelings and thoughts of all the characters in the story, he even knows more of each character than any of them knows about themselves or about others; thus, his account is complete and accurate. In the novel, for example, the Cowardly Lion thinks he lacks courage, but the omniscient narrator tells us of an incident that shows that he has in fact what he thinks he lacks. When the characters come across a great ditch, the Cowardly Lion, who hypothetically lacks in courage, courageously carries the others one-by-one on his back to the other side, which shows that the narrator knows more about Cowardly Lion’s traits than Lion himself.
