It is said that a man without a heart is a wonder. The Tin Man was a wonder. He was made of tin and showed that he cared for Dorothy in the fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz. Yet, he didn't have a heart.

It is also said that a man with two hearts is a monster. He can have a heart to love and have a heart to hate. This kind of man has a double heart. He can say one thing and do another.

The Tin Man had one thing on his mind. He swung his axe at the castle door of the wicked witch to save Dorothy. He had one heart for her filled with nothing but love. When Dorothy was locked up in the castle of the wicked witch, the Tin Man said to the Scarecrow and Lion that he hated to think of her in there and that they had to get her out. And that's what the Tin Man did with the Lion and the Scarecrow. The one that had no heart was the one that did.
