Abstract

This article focuses on the masculinities shown throughout Steven Spielberg’s Hook, following Pat Kirkham and Janet Thumim’s four sites of masculinities in film.Robin Williams’s character (Peter Banning/Pan) evolves from belonging to the business man prototype (Peter Banning) to becoming an adult-although-rejuvenated Peter Pan. His body is shown in action when BanninG/Pan attempts to behave in a more juvenile way. Banning/Pan’s external world is defined by his fatherhood, which involves both quality and quantity time spent with his children. The internal world is related to Banning/Pan’s fear of flying and death.
