Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Peter Pan is a much-beloved children's story, but, it usually does give adults pause when they come to read it to their own children. Parents often are thinking of either the stage productions they might have seen or the Disney animated film. The novel, then, can come as a tremendous shock, especially in its treatment of women, especially for feminists. Barrie's book could simply be seen as a reflection of English society and values at the turn of the 20th century; others might see a more disturbing reflection of societal norms or a reflection of Barrie's own love/hate relationship with his mother/women. Certainly, the text celebrates mothers and motherhood. Only Mrs. Darling remembers anything about Peter Pan- what she does remember is quite disturbing, but she seems to be able to understand childhood and children. Mr. Darling, on the other hand, is only a large child, an overgrown lost boy, like Hook, looking for a mother to look after him. What prompts Peter to take Wendy, and only incidentally her brothers, to Neverland is Wendy's ability to sew his shadow back on, and her bed-time storytelling ability. She becomes the stand-in mother in Neverland, which is predominantly male, populated by the lost boys, the red Indians, snd the pirates. The only other female characters are definitely not mothers and are 'the other kind' of female: the seductress or temptress. Tinker-Bell's 'problem' with Wendy, most adults would recognize as sexual jealousy, and Tiger Lily is seeking a relationship with Peter that has nothing to do with 'mothering'.
