Question 50 THE BIG PICTURE

Yeah..... 50th question... So here is a set of questions to celebrate
4 Questions which have a hidden theme...  1 clue for the THEME... Attempt only once.... Points given in Brackets... Total points = 10



1)    Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
It's times like these
I wish I were the X
You could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
Well...I'd give anything just to be the X
And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul
ID the fictional character X (1)..... Enough clues in question.... 
Bonus point question : What is X's original name? (1)  
Ans : Tin Woodman...

     * has a royal palace.
     * does not have a straight line in its state boundary.

3) A means birth/origin. The narrative of the book traces the origin of God's chosen people, Israel and his descendants, from the Creation to their descent into Egypt; the succeeding books of the Torah follow their subsequent liberation from Egypt through the power of God. Structurally, it consists of the "primeval history" (chapters 1 - 11) and cycles of Patriarchal stories (Chapters 12 - 50) - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and concluding with Joseph. While some traditions contained in it are as old as the monarchy, with some poetry that may be earlier, its final shape and message come only from the Exilic and Persian periods (6th and 5th centuries BC).
