Who is Peter Pan? In the play Peter Pan, Peter is portrayed as a boy who likes to have fun, but is this entirely correct? Evidence in the story says otherwise. Within the play, James Barrie, the author, portrays Peter Pan as a boy, because he acts like a boy and lives/plays with boys his age. The only thing that opposes Peter Pan being a boy is that he is never touched within the play. First of all, Peter Pan acts like a boy.

In del Torro’s Pan Labyrinth there are a lot of characters who are Orange personas, simply given the time period the movie is based in.

The General is very Orange in nature, he can be cruel and cold but he will get the work done no matter the expense
