Character Interview

Character: the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz


Question 1. What made you a coward? Did something happen to you before?

Lion: Nah, I'm not really sure. Maybe I was born to be a coward.


Question 2. What would you do when you met someone/something that makes you scared?

Lion: I'm always feel terribly scared when I met someone, but lions are supposed to be the King of Beasts, so if I roar, every creatures - even the bears and the tigers - will get out of my way. And I won't chase them, because I'm a coward.


Question 3. How did you feel when you met Kalidahs (a great beast with bodies like bears and heads like tigers)?

Lion: That was awfully scared of course! To be honest I even trembled a bit. I didn't know what I should do.


Question 4. But you tried to fight with them, didn't you?

Lion: Yes, because I had to protect my friends, Drothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and that small dog Toto. We could run away though.


Questions 5. So do you think you are a brave lion now?

Lion: Um, I hope so.
