Episode Synopsis
The story of Peter Pan has been around for over a hundred years, and is well known as one of the most beloved children's tales of our culture. But how did author James Barrie's greatest tragedies inspire him to write it? What does it really have to say about getting older? And why is Peter not the character we should be focusing on? The answers to these questions and more are all discussed in this episode about the boy who would not grow up...and the girl who would.YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLbpFRpa9TVPCFFoHTOW9XA References:Debunking the Myths about Boys and Emotions: https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/debunking_myths_boys_emotions How the fantasy of Peter Pan turned sinister: https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/7/27/16021572/peter-pan-became-evil-jm-barrie-llewelyn-davies Why J.M.
