other. Before there is any kind of relationship formed between Peter and Wendy, there is a sexual relationship developing. The way that Barrie described Wendy in the book suggested that she was not a little girl, throughout the book every description of her makes her seem so mature and nurturing to Peter. She seems like she is hoping that her relationship with Peter is not just friends, but much more than that. Right from the beginning, it is obvious that Peter has something for Wendy, the only way that he know how to express those feelings, though, is with his desire for her to be his motherly figure and take care of him. "Wendy, he continued in a voice that no woman has ever yet been able to resist, Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys" (Barrie 1004). This quote shows that Peter is trying to compliment her and sort of lure her into him, by saying that his voice is irresistible. .
When Peter takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, Wendy is giving up her parents, her home, and her safety to go off with some strange boy to a place far away from her home and her parents. This whole scenario just foreshadows the fact that she is running away with her lover and giving up everything to be with him and take care of him. Throughout their whole adventure together Peter is nothing but a gentleman to her. When she almost gets killed because Tinkerbell orders to kill her, Peter is very upset and does everything he can to bring her back to life. He even builds a house for her just how she likes it, just to keep her happy and safe from the pirates. Even though he does so much for her, and treats her so well, and cares about her so much, he is always putting on an act that the only reason he is doing all of this for her is just so she is well enough to take care of him, and be the mother he never had for him and the lost boys.
