摘　　要：综合运用文学伦理学批评方法与神话原型理论对《彼得·潘》中的童话奇境和人物形象进行考察,发现《彼得·潘》在本质上是一个童话版的伊甸园故事,有助于儿童读者通过阅读他人的成长故事来鉴照自身的成长。与偷食禁果之前的亚当和夏娃一样,彼得·潘及其伙伴在伊甸园般的永无岛上自由快乐但蒙昧无知,处于伦理混沌蒙昧状态,缺乏认知自己与世界的智慧和理性。如果失去伊甸园是人类始祖摆脱蒙昧、走向文明的起点,那么温迪等儿童长大的前提则是离开惬意安适的永无岛,进入现实世界接受社会的教化与现实的砥砺。Examining Peter Pan by James M. Barrie from the perspective of archetypal criticism with the method of ethical literary criticism,we hold that Peter Pan can be seen as a fairy-tale-version story of Iden. From Adam and Eve’s story,we found that the human beings grow up at the expense of losing pleasure and naivety. Just like our an-cestor’s state before eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Iden,such children as Peter Pan live in pleasant but ethical chaos in Eden-like Neverland in Peter Pan,lacking the wisdom and rationality of getting to cognize them-selves and the world around them. Just as our ancestor had to lose comfortable Eden to get themselves out of ethical ignorance and head for civilization,so the children have to leave cozy Neverland and enter the real world to be en-lightened and toughened in the process of initiation.
