In the classic tale of the TIN MAN the axe cut off parts of his body, which he had replaced with tin. After losing his heart in one of these accidents, he stopped caring about the girl.
Even without a heart, the TIN MAN still had feelings. He was a complex, emotional man who had many good traits such as loving, brave, kindness, and compassion.
Capitalists treating workers like machines, pushing them to work long hours for little pay. Workers think they themselves are no longer capable of feeling love and are dehumanized.
The Wizard, however feeling bad, tells the TIN MAN that he had a human heart all along and gives him a mechanical ticking heart to remind him of his heart.
The TIN MAN’S ticking heart makes him believe in his capacity to love. While we use the heart as the symbolic place where love resides, love lives fully in those who daily are willing to love.
