 Another traditional element that Baum intentionally omitted was the emphasis on romance.He considered romantic love to be uninteresting to young children, as well as largely incomprehensible.In "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the only element of romance lay in the background of the Tin Woodman and his love for Nimmie Amee, which explains his condition and it does not otherwise affect the tale, and that of Gayelette and the enchantment of the Winged monkeys.
