AB - In J. M. Barrie’s final, published version of Peter Pan (1928), the characterization of Hook is vague because of the censorship of plays at that time. Thus, a dramaturgic reading of Hook based on pantomime is mandatory with a survey of the novel, Peter and Wendy (1911), a silent film scenario (1921), and “Captain Hook at Eton” speech (1927). This process evolved the characterization of Hook, washing out its comic part of the original manuscript.
Hook became a graduate of Eton and Barrie finally grafted the vestiges of Charles II and Macbeth onto Hook making him a loser of the self-mobilization process for success. This paper aims to investigate the final characterization of Hook by Barrie and provide a guideline for realistic acting of this tragic hero, which is significantly different from that of Peter, a stock character of Harlequin in commedia dell’arte.
