Although the outlines have the same story, about the boy at Neverland friendly with fairies and hostile with a pirate named Captain Hook, each had a different version.
But not many know, all the versions is already "deviated" from the original story. Quoting The Week, Peter Pun had a terrible original version, then polished to be enjoyable.
Peter Pan first appeared only as an innocent baby in the story of The Little White Bird. The book was published in 1902 by J.M. Barrie. Baby Peter only appears in some parts. But Barrie accentuate his back in the next work, Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Would not Grow Up.
The book was published in 1904. The work was later became better known as Peter Pan and Wendy. There was characters like Captain Hook, Wendy Darling, and emerging Tinkerbell. In the book also initiated the new Barrie Neverland.
But make no mistake, the story of Peter Pan in the book is darker than is now known.
In the novel the character of Peter Pan Barrie describe not as an idol, but the kidnapper of children from their beds at nightfall. Character Captain Hook added later.
"Death will be a very great experience," says Peter Pan in the novel. The quote is obviously inappropriate raised a child, who, though steeped in the character of the brave but also had a strong aura of evil.
How of Peter Pan criminals can turn into a fun character who wants all children, and is remembered till they were grown? "Culprit" it is Disney, especially the experts Dr. Lester D. Friedman and Dr. Allison kavey.
They are professors and assistant editor for a book on the cultural history of Peter Pan released in 2008. The title of Second Star to the Right: Peter Pan in the Popular Imagination. Both figures it took over the story from the darkness.
Friedman interprets hungry crocodile from the story of Peter Pan and Captain Hook as time is death. Interpretation kavey back to The Little White Bird. Of the story, according to kavey, Peter can not age because he had died.
"There is a feeling that Neverland is a place visited by children who are sick, through their minds. But some of them are no longer able to go home," he said, as quoted by The Week.
Although the story changed, there is the character of Peter Pan will be retained from Barrie cardboard: childish. "Peter in The Little White Bird and Peter and Wendy is a depiction of children in the most honest literature I have ever read," said kavey. Peter called kavey selfish, but also could not take care of himself.
"She also loved as children. Without knowing the effect or what it means if he forgot for a moment," he continued. Not surprisingly, Disney took the story of "manipulated" is. Evil traits omitted for the sake of the children.
Disney makes Peter Pan with the standards of American culture at the time. Children need heroes of his age, smart, and strong. Until a few years later, perhaps now, the character is still attached. Peter Pan became a symbol of the minds of children who remain eternal despite having grown.
Would not go back into children, who do not need to worry about their duties and responsibilities, often perched in the adult mind? Peter Pan offers a way out interesting, which is why he is liked by all circles. Film Pan was the most predictable restore the memories and dreams.
