摘要

《绿野仙踪》是适合成人阅读的童话，它主要讲述了一个女孩多萝西在被龙卷风带到神奇的奥兹国后，努力寻找回家之路的故事。

一路上她遇到了稻草人、铁皮伐木工和胆小的狮子。

它们分别想要获得大脑、心和勇气，并和想要回家的多萝西一起踏上了寻找奥兹国的巫师的奇妙旅程。

但是事实上，他们所要寻找的东西他们都已经拥有了，只是自己没有意识到而已。

这部童话告诉我们，我们每个人身上都有自我矛盾性，我们已经拥有我们想要的品性，而真正缺少的，其实是自信和正确的自我认知。

生活中，我们每个人身上都有他们的影子，通过对这些人物性格的分析，可以让我们更好地了解自己，并鼓励我们做一个自信的人，真正去了解自己，相信自己，通过自己的力量获得我们想要的一切，更好地生活与奋斗。
