Been a while now I guess.

Today I am going to have a quick thought on an intresting story: Peter Pan.

The kid never grows up, there's been so many ways of looking at it, of thinking of the plot and images used in the story. Much has been said about the meaning of the whole thing, but I want to finally write my poor thoughts (by poor I mean I am probably mistaken or overthinling the whole deal) about this tale.

Peter Pan represents the inmature part of a person, who no matter how much time has already gone by, never seems to grow up, always keeping thatsmile and the belief in life, he's got so much faith in the infinitepossibilities of living that he's sure he can fly and indeed he does!

The lost boys I can't quite figure out, they are kinda bizarre to me, I can't associate them with anyone I know or any role actually so if somebody has an idea let me know.

Wendy, of course, she acts not only as the mother of the lost boys and Peter, but she also has the feminin, wannabe-Peter's-partner attitude, her role is to incarnate desire, love, passion, energy and protection, she becomes a more important heroin to me when she decides to go back to London for her parent's sake, becoming this way the woman who knows what her duty is. Although some of my personalities disgree with giving her credit for it, because it would've been just so much fun to stay in Neverland.

Neverland turns to be the place where everything can be possible, away from our doubts and insecurities, a place to play with children... (sick comment), no but really, a place where just like Kate Winslet, I would love visiting before I die.

But my all-time favorite has to be Captain Hook, he is plein awsome, when the crocodile (have you ever seen a crocodile in the sea? well... Neverland) gets closer, the tic tac of the clock awares Hook of its presence and the closeness of his own death, incarnating the fear to the end, the fear of ending a life without accomplishing his mission (killing Peter) but more so the fear of being living without a real reason (he could never kill Peter even if he had the chance), the clock inside of the crocodile represents the time that slowly comes to us and goes by also, there's no end to it (the captain can never kill the crocodile either). Hook basically impersonates the lost innocence, the banality of life and the lack of purpose on it, the being who wants to recover what was stolen and fights against the reality that time will just kill him eventually.

Tinkerbell... well I kinda hate the bitch... jealousy, unfaithfulness, envy, beauty, malice, yellow, lots of yellow and pixie powder... not my kind of thing, but I really would love to know if someone has a positive interpretation of this character.

Aren't we all in the story? I do think we are, at least I know I am, not just one actually, I think we all are a mixture of roles, that we keep on playing through our lives...

I'll see you in Neverland!
