How does Glinda help Dorothy’s companions find their new roles in Oz?

In L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Glinda the Good Witch of the South assists Dorothy’s companions in transitioning to their new roles by utilizing her power to summon the Winged Monkeys.1

After Dorothy and her friends reach Glinda’s castle, Glinda commands the Winged Monkeys to transport each companion to their respective new position of authority:

• The Tin Woodman is taken back to the land of the Winkies to rule over them.21
• The Scarecrow is returned to the Emerald City to serve as its ruler.21
• The Cowardly Lion is transported to the forest to reign as the king of the beasts.1

By facilitating their return to these specific domains, Glinda ensures that each character is properly situated to fulfill the leadership roles they earned through their journey.1
