Peter and Wendy written by JM Barrie is a classic tale of the adventures of the three young Darling brothers and Peter Pan, a magical boy from Neverland. Although this story began as a novel, several adaptations based on the story were eventually created, including Broadway shows, animated films, television productions, and more. In the epic story of Peter Pan there is Wendy Darling, the eldest of three children, the only daughter of the Darling family and the female protagonist of this story. Wendy's character begins the story by facing a confrontation between her parents about growing up and her age behavior, which shows that Wendy is not only childish but also restrictive to change, as she is already defensive about growing up. Wendy's requests to stay with her siblings, and her parents refuse and ignore her requests, showing that Wendy has "no voice" or any control over her situation. This communication disconnect between her and her parents shows that there is the potential for her to be a "runaway" and, ultimately, if so, experience "no recourse to anyone" (Franks, "Rural Runaways" 5) Wendy Darling's development of maturity is expressed through realizing the consequences of her decisions and actions and interpreting that development from text to film and from text to drama. The development of the interpretation of maturity is transferred differently in the adaptations of Peter and Wendy; including the Disney animated film Peter Pan and the Broadway production of Peter Pan. These two particular adaptations translated this interpretation differently, particularly due to the medium used. The Broadway show focuses more on adults considering that's their target audience, and Disney's... middle of paper... failure to include the appropriate scenario when Wendy arrives in Neverland hinders her emotional progress. The moment Wendy is picked up from the sky is her character's most dramatic scene, and removing the emotions of falling from the sky, being unconscious, and having a small house built around her takes away any emotion she experienced. at that moment. Her near-death keeps her separated from Tink as she was found guilty of ordering the boys to kill her. The Disney adaptation depicts Wendy being conscious and defending Tink when she is banished. Therefore, the inclusion of an accurate representation of "Wendy Bird" is what guides the adaptation towards the appropriate psychological progression experienced by the character of Wendy Darling, as it is the most important moment for Wendy during her adventure with Peter Pan , in the story Peter and Wendy..
