What does the Wizard say to the Scarecrow about a brain in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

The Scarecrow states an incorrect version of the Pythagorean theorem.

He states: "The sum of the square root of two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the third side."

There are two errors. The Pythagorean theorem applies to right triangles, not isosceles. Also the theorem is that the squares of two legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Properly stated, "The sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse."

He said...

"The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an Isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy, rapture, I've got a brain. How can I ever thank you enough?"

Answer 2

"The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."

Unfortunately, what he says is wrong. The sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the longest side.

This is one of the many ironies and brilliant bits that are prevalent throughout the movie. In this case, the Scarecrow goes through the entire move, when he doesn't have a brain, constantly coming up with brilliant ideas. He figures out how Dorothy can get him down off his pole, he comes up with the plan to get them into the Witch's Castle, he comes up with another plan after they defeat the guards and he figures out how to get the chandelier to fall on the guards to help them escape. He is able to think all along, UNTIL he finally gets his brain, Then he utters absolute nonsense.

Answer 3

That he is a fool in the book and that he is a failure in the film are the reasons why the Scarecrow wants a brain in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, in the original 1900 book edition, the Scarecrow describes himself as a fool who never learns anything. He gives as the cause a head stuffed with straw instead of brains. In contrast, in the beloved 1939 film version, the Scarecrow describes himself as a failure who is not doing what he is supposed to be doing on the job. He gives as the cause that no brains tell him how to scare crows and as the consequences that all wildlife and most particularly the crows make fun of him.

Answer 4

That bran-new brains lead to wisdom in the book and that diplomas lead to deep thinking in the film is what the Wizard says to the Scarecrow about a brain in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, in the original 1900 book edition, the Wizard adds pin- and needle-laced bran as brains to the Scarecrow's head full of straw. He comments that the Scarecrow will be known for the wisdom that his "bran-new" brains give him. In contrast is the diploma that the Wizard confers to the Scarecrow in the beloved 1939 movie classic. The Wizard explains that everyone has brains, but not deep thoughts. He insists that deep thinking traces back to a diploma, which the Scarecrow now has as a Th.D., or Doctor of Thinkology.

Universitatus Committeeatum e plurbis unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D.
