The Wizard Of Oz | Psychological Analysis | the heart's desire and the guilt of journey

My videoessay analysis of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. I draw out the deeper meaning as I see it; Dorothy's psychology and internal quest for adventure set against both guilt and self-acceptance.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
