Barrie, devastated by the ordeal, is walking his dog in a nearby park and meets the Davies family. Mary has an affair with another writer and the marriage is shattered by divorce. Upon growing up, Barrie becomes a writer and in 1891 marries actress Mary Ansell, a marriage that was, in the words of his colleagues…never consummated. She would even dress J.M Barrie up as his brother to pretend the boy still lived. He lost his thirteen year old brother in an ice skating accident… His mother never fully recovered mentally from the incident. The story was originally written by James Matthew Barrie born in 1860. You might want to rethink exposing any young impressionable mind to its rebellious influence. What you might not be aware of though is just how dark the origin of the story truly is. After all, Peter Pan was named after the greek god of sexual deviance, rape, and torture. Moral messages such as “never grow up…do whatever you want”, “it’s okay to kill”, and “pediphillia”. It’s no shocker that the timeless tale of Peter Pan has questionable content that kids just shouldn’t be exposed to.
