what is the meaning of Peter Pan?

Answer 1

One View:

A common interpretation of Peter Pan is that he represents the Inner Child, the energetic, playful side of every human being, often forgotten or denied in the process of maturing.

Peter's ability to fly represents the whimsy of the human imagination, taking us to places far and near. Wendy, near the end of the tale, can no longer fly; Peter says that she is "too old"- that is, she's become too serious and "adult" and forgotten how to imagine and play.

Peter's tale reminds us to nurture our own Inner Child and that there is a place for play and whimsy in our lives even as adults- that we can grow older without "growing up."

Another view:

The real meaning of Peter Pan is having an out of body experience, thus flying. that is also why it is Neverland, because your spirit is eternal, never gets old. You also must be in a happy frame of mind to OOBE, thus think of a happy thought.
