In the Wizard of Oz, neither the scarecrow nor the tinman had a heart NOR a brain. So why were they each so preoccupied with obtaining only one or the other?

I think they were both trying to fill a need that they thought an actual brain and heart would fill. Really what they both needed was confidence in their own abilities and self-worth.

The Wizard of Oz was an allegory. The Tin Man represented the Industrialists, whom L. Frank Baum considered heartless. The Scarecrow represented the Farmers, whom he considered brainless.

Since neither had a brain they couldn't think of it.

Look at personal experience. We don't always want what we need. We want what we want. (This is ususally what gets us into trouble.)
