Captain James Hook (his
name sometimes shortened to'Jas') is the main antagonist of J.
M. Barrie's play Peter Pa orthe Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and its
various adaptations.
The character is villainous pirate captain
of the Jolly Roger brig, and lord of the pirate
village/harbour inNeverland, where he is widely feared. Most importantly, he is
the archenemy of PeterPan. It is said that Hook
was Blackbeard's boatswain, and that he was the only man Long
John Silver ever feared.
His only two fears are the sight of his own
blood (which is supposedly an unnatural colour) and one fateful crocodile.
Hook wears
a big iron hook in place of his right hand,
which was
cut off by Peter Pan and eaten by a saltwater
crocodile,
who liked the taste so much that he follows
Hook around
constantly, hoping for more.
Luckily for
Hook, the crocodile also swallowed a clock, so Hook can
tell from
the ticking when he is near.
Hook hates
Peter obsessively due to his cockiness (and the removing
of his
hand), as well as the way he always seems to have "good
form"
without trying or even realizing, which is the best
"form"
of all, and lives for the day he can make Peter and
all his
Lost Boys walk the plank.
Creation
Of The Character
Hook did not appear in early drafts of the play,with the capricious
andcoercive Peter Pan as the closest thing to a "villain"
in it.
The pirate captain was created for a front-cloth scene to be staged in
front of the curtain while the set waschanged from Neverland back to the
Darlingnursery, depicting the children's journey home.
Barrie expanded the scene, knowing how much children were fascinated by
pirates, and expanded the role of the captain as the play developed.
The character was originally cast to be played by a woman: Dorothea
Baird, the actress also playing Mary Darling.
Gerald du Maurier, who was already playing George Darling (and the
brother of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies), persuaded Barrie to let him take the
additional role instead, a casting decision that has since been replicated
in many stage and film productions of the Peter Pan story.
Appearances
Captain
Hook is introduced in the animated film as a cunning, sinister man,
plotting to trap Peter in his lair, but also a bit of a buffoon, hiding from
the crocodile nicknamed 'Tick Tock' who took off his hand. He seeks revenge on
Peter Pan for having fed the crocodile his hand amidst battle, and will keep
his ship and its crew anchored in Never Land's waters until he finds the boy.
Hook is a
dangerous villain, without conscience, yet is dependent on his sidekick, Mr.
Smee. He is fairly cunning and has a bit of a taste for loopholes in contracts
or deals — after he promises Tinker Bell that he will not lay a
finger (or a hook) on Peter, he then lays a bomb in Peter's hideout, since
he didn't say he wouldn't do that.
When Peter
defeats Hook, he begs for mercy and promises to leave Neverland forever.
However, Hook tries to attack Peter again, only to be foiled. At the conclusion
of the film, Hook is being chased by the crocodile off into the
distance. Walt Disney insisted on keeping Hook alive, as he said:
"The audience will get to liking Hook, and they don't want to see him
killed.
