Peter Pan

Peter Pan was a child who lacked love but was afraid to admit his feelings. In the end, he let Wendy go and never came back. It wasn't that he didn't love her, it was because he loved Wendy that he let go. Wendy accepts the reality of growing up, while Pete chooses to continue the adventure. He didn't come back because he also knew that Wendy loved him, and if he kept coming back, Wendy wouldn't have forgotten Pete but kept waiting for Pete, and wouldn't continue to find his true happiness. (In the movie, when Wendy asked Pete if he would come back? Pete didn't say yes or no. But he wasn't sure because he actually had feelings for Wendy.) Because of the grown up people Don't want to be with someone who will never grow up.
Many people may ask, why didn't Pete accept Wendy's return to London together? The author of the story is JMBarrie, and the main feature is Pete's "child who never grows up". There are many reasons for his inspiration. One of them was that his brother had been killed in a tragic accident, and his own mother had been in this predicament. So he hopes that every child can live in a dream world, carefree.
There is a book also written by JMBarrie about Peter Pan's secret, JMBarrie and Lost Boys in common. We all know that Pete's purpose for bringing Wendy with him is to make her the mother of the Lost boys, which is typical of a lack of maternal love.
Peter Pan looks like a childlike movie, but there are many connotations in it. Peter Pan is said to be a cunning, selfish kid in the original novel. But at the same time he's pathetic, he ran away to Neverland because he didn't want to grow up (everyone goes through this period of not wanting to grow up, just out of fear, Pete's parents kept forcing him to be something "grown up" needs to be done). When he returned from Neverland, he found that his mother no longer recognized him, and that there was a newborn baby in his original room. So since then, he no longer believes in the so-called "love". It can already be seen from this that he is not a person without feelings, but a child who is afraid of receiving love and has been hiding his inner needs. When Wendy asks him about love in the movie, he bursts into a rage. Personally, I think he's just afraid of being betrayed by the same thing again.

Peter Pan quotes

  • Wendy: I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

    Peter: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

    [Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away]

    Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

    Wendy: There is so much more.

    Peter: What? What else is there?

    Wendy: I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

    Peter: Well, I will not grow up. You cannot make me!

  • Peter: [after bumping his head on waking up] I was not asleep.
