In what ways does Peter Pan (the play) explore notions of masculinity and femininity for its time period? Based on examples from the text, what is expected of boys/men and girls/women?

@monicajr,
The question is asking for your opinion based on what you read in the book and discussed in class. Do you have opinions?

@monicajr,
I donĀ“t know how notions of nasculinity and femininity should be described as I find Peter Pan stands for eternal boy
Puer aeternus is Latin for eternal boy, used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young; psychologically it refers to an older man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level.

I never considered peter pan to be a story involving masculinity or femininity. I always considered it to be a story about losing the innocence of childhood and forgetting how to just enjoy your life. I never saw sexuality playing any role in the narrative.
