Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The correspondence between the names of James Barrie’s memorable characters in Peter Pan and those of Bradbury’s children cannot be coincidental. In both works of fiction, Wendy and Peter arc devotees of never-never land, a dimension that is beyond the constraints and conventions imposed on demanding, if not persecuting, adults, and which is outside the limitations and changes decreed by time. In “The Veldt,” Wendy and Peter go beyond the point of no return. The vengeance they wreak on their parents leaves them unaffected and undisturbed. Afterward, when David MaClean, a psychologist and family friend, finds them nonchalantly and cheerfully picnicking in the savage setting they have stimulated, they show no signs of remorse or guilt. They are unholy terrors for whom expediency and self-preservation are the sole dictates of behavior. Like the baby in the next story, they are amoral and conscience-free." }
