Naturally, Peter Pan never really hit it off in it’s time, because of the controversial thoughts, and the point of view from kids. But she has a daughter, Jane, and Jane is a kid, so she can imagine and believe in Peter Pan. It’s the semi-autobiographical tale of a man becoming enamored of a little boy who he wants to steal away from.
One of the most heartbreaking chapters is at the very end, when Wendy grows up, forgets about Peter, and gets lost in the adult world. Barrie began the story of Peter Pan in his 1902 novel The Little White Bird.
It also taps into a child’s world of freedom, imagination, and oppression from adults. What I love about this book is the constant thread of hidden and discreet themes about humanity, ones that continue today. But Wendy and her brothers are whisked into a world where imagination runs wild- the land that is hidden in all children’s minds, the one that is different for every child, Neverland. Which, I think, I think is where the inspiration for Peter Pan came, “the boy who never grew up”.īut anyways, Wendy and her younger brothers are born into a family that struggles financially but are obsessed with appearing rich to their wealthy neighbors… a common trend, even today. The reason he was disliked in his time was because he never really grew out of his kid-self. Barrie perfectly captured the imagination and creativity of young children. I LOVED this book! Although it was written a long time ago by an unsuccessful playwright, J.
