Answer 1

Although Wendy enjoys the carefree joy of childhood, she accepts growing up as her inevitable fate in Peter Pan. She has already begun experiencing the responsibilities of motherhood through helping her own mother raise her siblings and pretending to be a mother when playing make-believe with Peter. Wendy knows that growing up is an inherent part of life and understands the responsibilities that come with it.
