Story Behind Peter Pans Shadow! #peterpan #demonic #shadow #astral #projection #disney #audio #edits

shadow is the darkness that results from the absence of light. Darkness and light are prevalent motifs throughout the play. Traditionally, darkness represents sadness, ignorance, and fear, while light represents happiness, knowledge, and courage. In order for a shadow to exist, light and darkness must both be present. Once Peter's shadow is attached to him, it does not come to life until the lights are turned on. The light "awakens" the shadow. Although a shadow is dark, it is created by light. The same concept is true for happiness and sadness. How can one experience happiness if one has never known sadness? In Peter Pan, childhood depends on both of these elements. The children of Never Land are playful, free, adventurous, and happy. Yet at the same time, they are stranded, lost, and without a mother. If Peter had not experienced the disappointment of finding the window to his nursery barred, he would have never known the wonderful excitement of Never Land. In the same way that light and darkness coexist to form a shadow, both happiness and sadness must be present to create the childhood experience.

The peculiar existence of light, darkness, and shadow in the Darling nursery gives it magic and fantasy. While the nursery symbolizes childhood, the light and darkness within it symbolize the childhood experience. As the Darling children sleep, the room is dark, yet the night-lights burn. One of the most common childhood fears is that of the dark. Being surrounded by darkness is similar to being lost.
