In the originals Peter Pan had cobwebs on him!. Nobody ages!. The book descirbes Peter as being 'clad in skeleton leaves'!. My question is, is it quite possible they are dead!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Peter_Pan Scroll down and you will read this: "Peter's archetypal ability is his refusal to grow up!. Barrie did not explain how he was able to do this!. Author Kevin Orlin Johnson argues that the Pan stories are in the German-English tradition of the Totenkindergeschichte (roughly, "tales of the death of children"), and the idea that Peter and all of the lost boys are dead in a Neverland afterlife is consistent with that genre, and rooted in Barrie's own life story!." A lighter explanation would simply be the death of childhood as we grow up, but still keeping it intact within ourselves!. The Neverland is within us!. Kinda like the little story in "Puff the Magic Dragon"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com that wouold make a ton of sense i guess maybe nobody thought of it that way that is a great question im wondering if it was like a silent trick of the author u kno something like if u really think about it u may figure it out!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
