Solomon Caw (allegory)
Solomon Caw is supposed to be the wisest among the birds, he is the one in charge. The allusion to Solomon – the king of Israel – is obvious. The king Solomon is known for his wisdom, along with many other things. So the crow Solomon is an allegoric representation of wisdom accumulate by centuries. Also the crow itself is a symbol of magic, mystery and intelligence, so it must have not been an accident that the author had chosen the crow as a bearer of wisdom.
The kite (symbol)
Once a kite had stuck in the trees on the island and Peter Pan took it himself. He did not part with it, and even when asleep he held it tightly in his hand. The reason for this that it had belonged to a real boy before, and for Peter Pan it became like a linking to the world of children. It symbolizes the connection with the world beyond the island.
Sparrow year (allegory)
Solomon Caw is the one who is responsible for which bird each woman will receive as her future child. Very often he receives notes from the women asking for thrushes as their babies, and this makes Solomon very angry as he does not like to be commanded by anyone. In one such a year, after receiving many notes from women, Solomon sent them all sparrows instead of thrushes. “So, when you meet grown-up people in the Gardens who puff and blow as if they thought themselves bigger than they are, very likely they belong to that year.” The allegory explains the arrogance of some people – they must have been sparrows before becoming children.
