Just ask the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dorothy wants to go home. she follows the yellow brick road that will lead her to the wizard of oz. on the way, she meets the scarecrow, tin man and a lion. they travel together to find the wizard of oz.the wizard tells them he will grant them their wishes if they kill the witch of the west. when they did, the wizard gave all the fellows all their wishes, but he says Dorothy's wish is impossible. but of course Dorothy get to go home with the help of her magical shoes she got when she arrived and her house landed on an evil witch. So the conflict is Dorothy vs the witch of the west. ***NOTE*** Are you talking about Dorothy's conflict in the film version or in the book, as there could be differences. I read the book, but it has been a VERY long time, so I don't really recall much of it. I've watched the movie almost religiously since I was a kid, though, SO the conflict... I'm afraid I have to disagree with the first answer. The real conflict is not that between Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, but of Dorothy discovering that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the rainbow. Her idea that somewhere far away from the home she is used to (which is portrayed as plain, drab, and altogether boring, where her flights of fancy aren't appreciated, and she seems to always be in some sort of trouble with her aunt or Miss Gulch)- would be much better than staying where she is. However, once she finds herself in Oz, Dorothy lands herself in the worst trouble she has ever been in and needs to find a way home. The thing she faces is that she must learn that there really is no place like home before she can actually return to Kansas. She needs smarts, heart, and courage (taking the form of her three friends, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion) in order to get there. (Also, in the film, the Man Behind the Curtain- or the Wizard- posing as the Great and Terrible Oz DOES offer Dorothy a way home in his balloon. However, it takes off without her due to a mishap, leaving Dorothy stranded. This is when Glinda reappears and tells Dorothy she has had the power to return home the entire time because the slippers she wears have the magical ability to send her back to Kansas. All she has to do is click her heels 3 times and say "there's no place like home" ) Hope this helps!!!

@chandowd I need the Supernatural conflict so where is that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was hoping you could find it from all that. But if not I will find it for you. What do you mean by supernatural conflict?

OpenStudy (tanya123):

Okay, so Supernatural conflict is one person against monsters, ghosts, demons, or other unknown forces.

It would be Dorothy vs the witch of the west.

OpenStudy (tanya123):

Yeah ! So what will be the Conflict?

OpenStudy (lena772):

Dorothy is imprisoned in the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West.

OpenStudy (lena772):

In order to return to Kansas she must kill the witch, which she is strongly against, or stay trapped forever.
