“All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust.” This is a quote from Peter Pan a fun, energetic boy that never grows up. With Peter Pan’s story there’s scads that goes into it, some of these points are where he originated from, why he never seems to grow up, and why Captain Hook wants to see him dead. I know it may seem captivating that Peter doesn’t age, but that’s not all of his “talents”. At just seven days old Peter Pan fell out of his crib and just flew to a mystical place called Neverland. Yes folks he can fly, not only that, but he is also the leader of the Lost Boys and they look at life as if it is just one big adventure. The big question is, where did this fictional character come from?
The answer to that is on the front cover of any Peter Pan novel. “To die would be an awfully big adventure. (Peter Pan)” this quote is from the amazing author of the magical world of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie. …show more content…
The most commonly known theory is that due to living in Neverland, Peter Pan has become some what immortal. Another assumption that was made by fans is that Peter Pan doesn’t stop aging entirely, but that he is just aging much slower than everyone else. If this was true, then it would explain how Peter Pan is twelve years old when he arrived in Neverland at seven days old. The least known theory, I anticipate, is that Peter Pan is like a child-god. In mythology, these children were called Puer aeternus. Just like gods they could never age again, but they could always change their appearance. Really they’re all only theories, so we don’t know the real answer. Even though J.M. Barrie may have taken the answer to that question to his grave, I reckon he would have wanted us to interpret it however we saw the reasoning behind it. And though Peter Pan doesn’t age his arch nemesis Captain Hook does. The question is why does Hook want Pan
