Character History
Dorothy Gale is a fictional character of the cycle of the American writer Lyameman Frank Bauma about the magical country of Oz. Fearless girl travels with friends, trying to find a way to return home.History of character creation
The plot of the cycle was born 2 years before the publication of the first book. A neighbor's neighboring bauum gathered in the living room, and Lymeman came up with magic stories on the move. When the owner at home was asked what is the place where it all happens, he glanced at home card files with letterpoint signs. A sheet with the inscription "O - Z" was glued on the lower box, and Lymen solemnly said - "Country Oz".
Gradually, improvisation began to gain clearer shapes and borders. At first, the writer did not give values to such evening expression, but the grateful listeners insisted on the continuation of history. The second book "Wonderful Country Oz" was born 4 years after the release of the first fairy tale. It did not turn out to be the main character - Dorothy, but there were her friends - ironwood, a cowardly lion, scared. Subsequently, the orphan from Kansas appeared on the pages of new books, which came out with enviable regularity.
Researchers Lyamena Bauma claws claim that the author to create a young gale inspired another literary heroine - Alice from the works of Lewis Carroll. The same judgments went on a writer. Lymen himself did not agree that Alice is the prototype of his character, although noticed the similarity in the nature of these girls.
But with the name of the orphans from Kansas no ambiguity. Baum called his heroine in honor of the wife's niece - Dorothy Louise Gage. Unfortunately, she died back in infancy, and the writer decided in memory of the little Louise to perpetuate her name on the pages of his books.
The biography of the heroine may have influenced the disaster in Irving 1879. According to unconfirmed information, Baum read a message about Tornado in Kansas, where the names of the dead were also mentioned, including some kind of Dorothy Gale.
The elements of the character of the girl are taken by the author from the grandmother Louise - Matilda Hosling, as well as his own wife. So it turned out a certain collective image that combined the features of several people at once.
In total, 14 books about the magical country of Oz are written in total Lymen Baum. After the death of the author, the Ruth of Plamlie Thompson seized Ruth Plamlie, who continued and developed the plot by adding new characters in the narration.
The popularity of the cycle went beyond the mainland. In 1939, Alexander Volkov published a fabulous story "The Wizard of the Emerald City" in the USSR. In the center of history - Ellie Smith, which, unlike the literary prototype, is parents.
In general, these works are similar, although the Soviet author not only adapted the fairy tale, but also brought many new details into it. The brave Lion Volkova in the original source remains a cowardly lion, despite the acquired courage, the wizard of Oz - the worshipers, and Goodwin - actor.
In the descriptions of Lysena Bauma, dark shades prevail, while Alexander Volkov sought to a more positive narration.
