Was it the Scarecrow or the Tin Woodman that wanted a heart in The Wizard of Oz?

The Scarecrow wanted a brain, and the Tin Woodman wanted a heart. But neither one of them realized an important fact: the Wizard didn't give them anything. He really was a humbug, and made a show of giving them what they already had. For the Scarecrow already had a brain, and the Tin Woodman already had a heart. There were many instances prior to meeting the Wizard in which the presence of a brain and of a heart were proven respectively. For example, the Tin Woodman didn't want to hurt anybody or anything if he could help it. He deliberately tried not to step on ants. And the Scarecrow figured out that a deep ditch was too wide to be jumped individually, but not so wide as to keep the Cowardly Lion from leaping over, with each of the four friends on his back, one-by-one.

∙ 15y agoThe Tin Woodman wanted a heart in both the book and the 1939 film versions of The Wizard of Oz. Ironically, he sought what he already had. Along the way to his meeting with the Wizard, the Tin Woodman dealt with many situations in ways that showed him already having the emotions, feelings, and sensitivities that came with having a heart. For example, he didn't like to hurt anyone or anybody if he could at all help it. So he tried assiduously not to step on ants.

According to the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], and the posthumous 1939 film version, the Tin Woodman wanted a heart.

And he still felt heartbreak over the failure of his romance with the Pretty Munchkin Girl.

What is ironic about 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'?
Every character has a characteristic they want. The scarecrow wants a brain, the tin woodman wants a heart, the lion wanted courage. The scarecrow wanted brains to think intelligent thoughts while he comes up with all the ideas to get across obstacles. The tin woodman wants a heart to feel emotions but he already does. He cries every time someone wants to step on a bug. He also weeps when the Lion offers to kill something for Dorothy to eat. The lion wants courage to be well... courageous. He wants to be courageous but he already is by jumping across a deep ditch 6 times and scare off beasts with tiger heads and bear bodies.
What did the Tin Woodman receive from Dorothy?
Dorothy Gale has just ended her struggle with the apple trees. She is about to pick up two apples when she sees a tin foot. She realizes that the foot belongs to a tin man who is next to an oil can. She says, 'Why, it's a man! A man made out of tin!'When the tin man squeaks out, 'Oil can...oil can...', Dorothy says, 'Did you say something?' The tin man repeats, 'Oil can...', to which Dorothy responds, 'Oil can? Oh - oh, here it is! Where do you want to be oiled first?' The tin man directs her, 'My mouth - mouth!' And then the Tin Woodman is able to tell his story to Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and her friend the Scarecrow.
Why does the Tin Woodman prefer a heart to brains in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
No. It was the Scarecrow who wanted a brain. The Tin Woodman believed himself to be without a heart. He had been in love with a pretty Munchkin girl, who had lived with an older woman who was afraid of losing the company and having to live all alone. The woman persuaded the Wicked Witch of the West to cast a spell on the Woodman. The Woodman's own axe turned on him, bit by bit depriving him of torso, limbs, and head. Each part was replaced by metal. But the Woodman showed himself to be compassionate, emotional, and sensitive many times before the bestowal of a silk sawdust-stuffed heart from the Wizard. For example, he tried not to be cruel and unkind. And he didn't want to step on ants.
