Starrats Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 As far as i know Captain hook arrived in neverland when he was an adult. Then he lost his hand in a fight with Peter and wanted to kill Peter for it so they stayed or something like that:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfs_cry Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 ahh but how did hook get to Neverland if he was old when he arrived? cause somehow i dont think Peter Pan would give him dust to fly to Neverland.....or maybe they did and hook gave pan dodgey directions thus the hatred between them 2 begun....all cause hook couldnt read a map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Only Peter and his crew don't age. (Because Peter is immortal and the Lost Boys are dead.) Tinkerbell, for instance, grows old and dies by the end of the novel. But yes, Captain Hook arrived in Neverland as an adult anyway. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come to Neverland when they fall off the map in one way or another. You can fly, but you can also swim to it--you can get to it in any way that defies definite directions. (Ie, air and water are both very amorphous, mysterious things.) Hook sailed to it, I believe. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 In fact, now that I think about it... it's not that people don't age, but age does not exist as such for Peter and his boys. They are children forever, but not simply in terms of not aging. Like, bet you can't tell me how old any of them are. Peter supposedly brought the Lost Boys over after they fell out of their prams and were lost--well, only babies and toddlers are put in prams, and they are not babies or toddlers. Tiger Lily is old enough to be married within her tribe apparently, but she is romantically interested in Peter. The passage to Neverland itself does weird things with time. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You have noooooooooo idea how obsessed with J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan I am. I generally prefer the novelization to the play (they're a bit different), but I like the play too... and some of the earlier short stories ("Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens"). It's just the kind of gloriously messed up children's story that I love. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ahh okay, just wondering. How is the play different from the novel? I read the book a long time ago for a literature assignment, but I've never seen the play. btw, there's a ton of other (pre-Disney) children's stories that are pretty freakishly demented. Some of them are really twisted (like the one where the little mermaid kills herself. ) The play was written first, and it's a bit simpler and more optimistic. Most non-American children's stories are demented. "The Little Mermaid" one is not a patch on some of them... I rather love Hans Christian Andersen too though. I adore Oscar Wilde's fairytales, like the "Star Child" which must have the most awful ending ever, I think. Ha. I'm not Peter Pan but I wanted him to take me away when I was about to turn 10... he never quite did. I'm all about twisted children's stories. That's why I write my own fairy tales. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
