When searching for the worldview of a text you must be familiar with various different worldviews. Only being educated in your own worldview gives you a biast outlook on other perspectives. If you hace an understanding of a variety of worldviews it will help you better understand the concepts within the text. Also you should know the worldview of the author. Researching background information helps to know the author better and know what they meant throughout the text.
Postmodernism is the underlying worldview presented in the Wizard of Oz. Throughout the movie Dorthy and her friends are trying to reach the Wizard who is equivalent to being a god in their eyes. The Wizard turns out to just be a mere man but they had made him up to be a great god. The postmodern view claims there is no reality which is portrayed when Dorthy clicks her heals and says, "there is no place like home,"-click click- "there is no place like home." She awakes back in Kansas and is uncertain of whether her adventure in search of Oz was real or not.
