Michael Jackson's tragedy is in misunderstanding Peter Pan
2005
Overview
Both [J M Barrie] and [Michael Jackson] were driven to create their own worlds as mechanisms of psychic survival, a way of enduring the harsh reality of their earliest experiences. Meanwhile, each routinely enlisted the aid of children, especially little boys, to recapture their childhood and set their imaginations free; Jackson says: 'My greatest inspiration comes from children.' Our post- Freudian world clamours at the potential for sexual deviance in the familiarity of these relationships, and the accusations of homosexuality abound. Whatever Barrie's thoughts may have been, for all his attachment to little boys, as an old man one of them declared that he had 'never heard one word or saw one glimmer of anything approaching homosexuality or paedophilia' and that if Barrie had 'either of these leanings ... I would have been aware'. But here Jackson and Barrie's lives radically diverge.
