Overview
An allegory is the expression of truths about human conduct and experience by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions.

The setting of this allegory is in Kansas - the "heartland" of America; the geographical center of the U.S.A. In came the twister - the whirling confusion of the Great Depression, the stock-market crash, the U.S. bankruptcy, and the theft of America's gold - that whisked Dorothy and Toto up into the New Order of the World; an artificial new dimension "somewhere, over the rainbow," above the solid ground of Kansas.
