Solomon Caw
A wise old bird who lives on the island in the Serpentine and advises Peter Pan.
Core Belief
"One must accept their place in the world and adapt to their circumstances, even if it means abandoning their dreams."
Worldview
Solomon sees the world as a place of limitations and compromises. He believes that individuals must accept their inherent nature and make the most of their abilities. He is skeptical of grand ambitions and prefers to focus on practical solutions.
Personality
Solomon is pragmatic, knowledgeable, and somewhat cynical. He possesses a deep understanding of the bird world and serves as a mentor to Peter. While he can be gruff, he also shows moments of kindness and compassion.
In Their Own Words
"‘Look at your nightgown, if you don't believe me,’ Solomon said; and with staring eyes Peter looked at his nightgown, and then at the sleeping birds. Not one of them wore anything."
"‘Poor little half-and-half!’ said Solomon, who was not really hard-hearted, ‘you will never be able to fly again, not even on windy days. You must live here on the island always.’"
"‘Never put off laying to-day because you can lay to-morrow,’ and ‘In this world there are no second chances,’"
