The story of the ageless boy Peter Pan has become a favorite for many readers of all ages. However, not only he was remembered and loved, but also a charming girl Wendy Darling, who became for Peter a friend and assistant.
Appearance
In a fairy tale about Peter and Wendy, George Matthew Barry did not give an exact description of the main character. It is indicated that her hair can be both dark and light. Therefore, in different adaptations, the girl looks different.
Many secrets in the history of Wendy Darling. The age of the girl raises a question among many readers. It is known that Wendy is older than his brothers and will soon enter the period of life when the girl becomes a girl. But the exact age of Miss Darling is also not. The tale says that she is the same height as Peter. And also that Pan did not have milk teeth. Because you can only roughly guess how old Wendy was.
Barry pointed out that his character is an unusually pretty young lady. She inherited her beauty from her mother, a sweet and kind woman.
Childhood
Wendy Moira Angela Darling is the eldest of three children in the family. Her father is trying to achieve career heights, and her mother devoted herself to raising her daughter and sons. While the children were considered small, they all lived together in the same children's room.
The girl diligently helped her mother in the education of Michael and John. There was no storyteller better than little Miss Darling. She made real theatrical performances based on the stories she invented. And, as it turned out later, some characters of her dark tales actually exist.
Wendy Darling's life changed when a lady came to visit. Having examined the girl, she came to the conclusion that she was growing up and would soon become a girl. And therefore, Miss Darling must leave the common room and move into a private room. But only the girl herself was against it. She didnโt want to grow up.
Peter Pan and Wendy Darling
As soon as the girl decided to never grow up, fate gave her an acquaintance with Pan. He also once did not want to become an adult and was able to find a deliverance from the inevitable.
Peter has lost his shadow. And if not for Wendy, then she would never have returned to her owner. The girl sewed a shadow to Peter's heel with the strongest threads. And in gratitude for the help rendered, the ageless boy suggested that the good assistant go with him to Neverland, where she would find salvation from growing up.
Wendy Darling accepted the invitation of Peter and went with her brothers on an extraordinary journey. She not only trusted Peter, but also fell in love with him. Only the eternal boy did not want to respond to her feelings. He thought that would make him too old. And everything that was associated with this process caused the boy a mixture of fear and disgust.
Wendy in Neverland
Travel greatly changed the life of the girl. Wendy Darling did not believe in the existence of magical lands and fairies. But it turned out that she was wrong. She was able to meet little fairies, pirates and exotic tribes.
Besides Peter, lost boys lived in Neverland. Once they fell out of the sled of gapeous nannies or disappeared during walks. The boys did not remember their mothers, but really wanted to find them. Wendy's appearance gave them hope.
Miss Darling wanted to remain a child, but Neverland did not live up to her dreams. In a place where no one was growing up, she had to become a mother for the boys. She took care of them day and night, monitored their health, and told bedtime stories before bedtime.
The girl aroused interest among the pirates, who also suffered from their loneliness. Captain Hook was especially mysterious and cruel. He ordered Miss Darling to be abducted, but did not want to keep her captive. Instead, he offered her his friendship and the opportunity to become one of the most famous pirates. Disappointed in St. Petersburg, Wendy was ready to give her consent. But the lost boys, along with her brothers, tore the girl out of the hands of the pirates.
The journey showed her that she could not stop growing up. And then the girl decided to return to her parents. Those knocked down, looking for Michael, George and Wendy Darling. Photos of children were distributed throughout the city.
Wendy grew up, got married and became a mother herself. That story was gradually lost in the depths of her memory, superseded by new concerns. However, the story of Wendy Darling and her adventures are preserved in the memory of readers.
