About Peter Pan in brief
Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. He is a free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up. Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, The Little White Bird, and the West End stage play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie’s works. In the Disney films, Peter wears an outfit that consists of a short-sleeved green tunic and tights apparently made of cloth, and a cap with a red feather in it. In Hook, the character is played as an adult by Robin Williams, with blue eyes and dark brown hair; in flashbacks to him in his youth, his hair is light brown. His ears appear pointed only when he is Peter Pan, not as Peter Banning. His Pan attire resembles the Disney outfit. In the live-action 2003 Peter Pan film, he is portrayed by Jeremy Sumpter, with blond hair, blue eyes, bare feet and a costume made of leaves and vines. Although his age is not stated in the novel, the novel mentions that he had all his baby teeth. In other ways, Peter Pan appears to be about 12–13 years old when it comes to putting himself in danger. Peter has a nonchalant, devil-may-care attitude and is fearlessly cocky.
He claims greatness, even when such claims are questionable. Peter symbolises the selfishness of childhood, and is portrayed as being forgetful and self-centred and forgetful. His name and playing the flute or pipes suggest the Greek god and mythological character Pan. Peter’s outfit is made of autumn leaves and cobwebs, in the play, Peter’s name andPlaying the flue or pipes suggests the Greek gods and mythology character Pan, in the original productions in the UK, a reddish tunic and dark green tights, such as that worn by Nina Boucicault in 1904. Peter and Wendy was published in 1911 as a novel, published by Hodder and Stoughton. In 1904, Barrie wrote Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, which premiered on 27 December 1904 at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London. The play’s storyline was adapted and expanded into a novel in 1906 under the title Peter Pan and Wendy. In his novel, he describes Peter Pan as a beautiful boy with a beautiful smile, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that flow from trees. He also describes him as a boy and a bird, with pointed elf-like ears, brown eyes and his hair are red. The character’s outfit in the 1904 play is a red tunic, with a green costume becoming more usual from the 1920s, and more so later after the release of Disney’s animated movie.
