The Betwixt-and-Between : Peter Pan as Trickster Figure
Original language description
On 1st May 1912 a surprise waited for the visitors of Kensington Gardens. Overnight a statue of the beloved character of Peter Pan appeared in the park as if by magic. Since then the popularity of the boy who refused to grow up has not waned. On the contrary, it has spread beyond the borders of Britain, with the story turning into a myth. The aim of this paper is to explore the cultural significance of this iconic character, specifically, to show that Peter Pan is not just a mischievous character playing hide and seek with the stars, trying to blow them out when they are not looking, but a fully-fledged trickster figure. Tricksters, such as Hermes, Loki, Ananse and Coyote, are vital in their function as cultural catalysts, preventing stagnation by constantly breaking established rules, disregarding conventions, violating taboos and challenging even the basic assumptions which the cultures are based on.
