Peter Pan Theme
Tagged under Fairy Tales.
Peter Pan is a character who appears in several books by Scottish author J.M. Barrie, as well as other works such as
theatrical plays, feature films, and a TV series. In pop culture, he is most often identified by his green tunic.
Peter is mostly renowned for his ability to fly and for being "the boy who refuses to grow up", choosing to
remain in perpetual childhood and spend his time going on adventures in the fantastic island of Neverland. As a
consequence, his memories periodically disappear in order to allow him to remain childlike (this is a major plot point
in the 1991 film "Hook", where the grown-up Peter
forgets his roots and even Tinkerbell, his fiercely
protective and highly mischievous fairy companion). Peter's abilities also include excellent swordsmanship skills, a
sharp mind, and even the ability to imagine things into existence.
In Neverland, Peter commands the Lost
Boys, a group of children he has brought to the island. They oppose Captain Hook and his pirates, and the two fractions
are on a constant lookout to eradicate each other.
