The omniscient narrator. For the narrator knows more about each individual character in The Wizard of Oz than any one of them knows about themselves or about others. For example, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion think they lack a heart, a brain, and courage, respectively. But the narrator tells us of incidents, before the bogus granting of these requests by the Wizard, that show the threesome to have in fact what they think they lack. For example, Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion come across a great ditch. Supposedly lacking in brains, the Scarecrow nevertheless figures out that flying and climbing are out of the question. The only option is jumping. Supposedly lacking in courage, the Cowardly Lion carries the others one-by-one on his back through three fearless leaps of faith through the air, to the other side. In another example, supposedly lacking in love, the Tin Woodman weeps over accidentally crushing a beetle.

The point of view in 'The Wizard of Oz' is the omniscient narrator. The story therefore is told in the third person. The technique allows the reader of the original 1900 book edition to know all there is to know of all of the characters.

No religious point of view is apparent in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. Author and Oz book series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] was born into a Methodist family. But he wasn't known to be a devout practitioner of that or of any other religion.

In fact, Baum preferred to concentrate on the here and now of behavior that emphasizes what's right over what's wrong. That preference may be seen in the attitudes and orientations of such main characters in the series as Dorothy Gale, Glinda the Good, and Princess Ozma.
