So we now know that Oz displays cosmic humanism. Well... I think it uses both postmodernism and cosmic humanism. Like i've said, the dream itself is the postmodern view of creating your own reality, but within the dream Dorothy decides her personal "truth" is within the wv of cosmic humanism. She seems to think she can do anything herself... good luck with that, Dorothy.
As for Narnia... we all know it is supposed to exemplify the idea of Christianity. Aslan is supposed to be Christ who came to earth (Narnia) to help his people (Lucy, Edward, etc.) to realize he is the one they should ultimately follow and trust in. He later is sacrificed on a stone table which models the death of Christ on the cross. And the evil White Witch... whatever she is called... is supposed to be Satan with all her temptations and evil tricks while having the ultimate goal of seeing Aslan fail and ruining Narnia forever.
There you go. Wizard of Oz = cosmic humanism with a splash of postmodernism just to be fancy
Narnia = Christianity
woohoo.
