Silly nitpick
by 29002 Tuesday, January 22, 2008 12:29 PM
This nitpick is silly. First, it is not the scarecrow's head from which the egg falls. It is Jack or as The GNOME KING (not Stone King, although he is made of stone)likes to call Jack, Pumpkin Head. Second, have you ever lived on a farm? Who says stressed chickens don't lay eggs?
Your both wrong

Your both wrong. It isn’t the Stone King and it isn’t the Gnome King it is NOME KING!!!! Read the book. They spell Gnome like NOME!!! Even check the credits of the movie. It says Dr. Worley/The Nome King. I wish everyone would just get it correct NOME N-O-M-E NOME!!!!
Chickens don't talk, either

Besides getting the names wrong (it's Nome King and Jack, as was already pointed out), the nitpick is ridiculous. We're talking about a talking chicken, inside a talking pumpkin-headed being, about to be eaten alive by a talking mountain, in a world where eggs are poisonous to "Nomes." This entire land of Oz is complete fantasy, and arguably only exists in Dorothy's head.
Egg symbolic, and the entire thing is a dream!
This is a fantasy in Dorothy's head. The NOME KING (not "Stone King"), representing patriarchy, is poisoned by eggs (representing life and birth). It's all a delusion of Dorothy's. The chicken quite obviously isn't real: It speaks in English, incessently! The nitpick is invalid.
