The 3 part left, right, center trope is continued with Tiktok's wind-up mechanism in the 3rd book.
(is this later?) Come to take the light away, by attacking Oz from the "outside". However, her return is not under her own power, but through the power of her friendships in Oz. When Dorothy leaves Oz, still being connected by responsibility to the mundane world of Kansas, she does not forget her magical self.This time Dorothy stays lucid and returns to Kansas with a way back when she choses. On some level, I was reminded of the story of Inanna and the gifts of civilzation. Through this story we hear how pride, power, vanity, & hierarchy out of whack creates difficulty or us on the path.
This third book is about the way role and masks make us unconscious to our powerful selves. Dorothy is dunked as woman and re-awakens to her magical witch self, perhaps to herself in the role as the Witch of the East, forgotten during her exile from Oz. When she returns, Dorothy is dunked in water, which is a punishment inflicted on woman and used as a way to identify witches.
She was exiled from the magical world of Oz. When Dorothy left Oz she lost the Silver Slippers that she would have needed to return by choice. Whereas in the first book, Dorothy arrives through the element of Air, this time she arrives through the element of Water. John Griogair Bell – Arlecchino Malbenvolio
