give two reason why Wendy was not going with Peter
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Peter loved Wendy in the same way that a little boy loves his mother. But Wendy, being just at that age where she is starting to understand the kind of love that her father has for her mother, wanted to have that same kind of relationship with Peter. Peter, who wants to always be a little boy and to have fun, has no understanding of that deeper relationship which Wendy desires, and so runs from it because it scares him - though I think that in some ways, he does understand it, as well - which also scares him because it's something that would draw him toward growing up.
J. M. Barrie puts in an afterthought in Peter and Wendy that shows a little more development along this line when Peter comes back to visit Wendy and finds her completely grown up - ever so much more than twenty. She frightens him when he realizes she's grown up, but when he discovers her daughter, Jane, he finds a new way to keep his love for Wendy fresh and re-kindled, generation after generation, as he takes each new Darling girl with him to Neverland to be his mother for a period before she, too, grows up.
Of course, if you take Hook into consideration, Peter eventually does decide to grow up, and so Wendy becomes his mother again for a time until he is adopted by American parents and later marries Wendy's daughter, Moira. So you get to see Peter's desire even further fulfilled as Wendy becomes more or less exactly who he wanted her to be in the first place.
