In the original Wizard of Oz, The Tin Man's real name wasnt Boq. In fact, The Tin Man was originally called "Tin Woodsman". His name was Nick Chopper and he made a living chopping down tree's. The Wicked Witch of the East enchanted his axe to prevent him from marrying the girl he loved. Since people dont die in OZ, as he lost each limb one-by-one he replaced it with tin. Until there was nothing left of him, just tin. A tinsmith helped him do this and had forgotten to replace his heart. So since he lost his heart, he was unable to love the girl he loved.
