Captain Hook
Captain James Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of J. M. Barrie's play ''Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'' and its various adaptations. The character is a pirate captain of the brig ''Jolly Roger''. He is described as "boatswain to Blackbeard" and "the only man of whom Barbecue was afraid", and is Peter Pan's archenemy. His two principal fears are the sight of his own blood (supposedly an unnatural colour) and the crocodile who pursues him after eating the hand cut off by Pan. An iron hook replaced his severed hand, which gave the pirate his name. After getting a taste of Hook, the crocodile pursues him relentlessly, but the ticking clock it has swallowed warns Hook of its presence.〔Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, 1904〕
==Creation of the character==
According to A.N. Wilson, Barrie "openly acknowledged Hook and his obsession with the crocodile was an English version of Ahab",〔(A.N. Wilson. "Moby-Dick - a modern tragedy." The Telegraph, 27 October 2008. ) Retrieved 25 March 2014〕 and there are other borrowings from Melville.〔(David Park Williams. "Hook and Ahab: Barrie's Strange Satire on Melville." ''PMLA'', December 1965. ) Retrieved 25 March 2014〕
Hook did not appear in early drafts of the play, wherein the capricious and coercive Peter Pan was closest to a "villain", but was created for a front-cloth scene depicting the children's journey home. Later, Barrie expanded the scene, on the premise that 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 Dorothea Baird, the actress playing Mary Darling, but Gerald du Maurier, already playing George Darling (and the brother of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies), persuaded Barrie to let him take the additional role instead,〔http://www.jmbarrie.co.uk/introduction.html〕 a casting tradition since replicated in many stage and film productions of the Peter Pan story.
