Mr. Smee is a fictional character who serves as Captain Hook's
boatswain in J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan, or the Boy Who
Wouldn't Grow Up and 1911 novel Peter and Wendy.Mr. Smee seems an
oddly genial man for a pirate; Barrie describes him as "Irish", the
only Nonconformist among Hook's crew, and "a man who stabbed without
offence" â€" and is portrayed in the multiple pantomimes or movies of
Peter Pan as a rather stupid but entertaining man interested in loot
rather than Hook's more evil pleasures. Smee typically represents a
humorous side to pirating, often portrayed as a portly man with a
bulbous nose and red cheeks, although Barrie hinted at a darker side.
When captured by Hook, every child in the brig loves Smee â€" he
cannot lay a fist on them and does their darning â€" despite his
belief that they fear him. Hook considers that Smee has good form
without knowing it, which is of course the best form of all. He almost
tears into Smee for this but knows that clawing a man for having good
form is very bad form. Smee offers to save Wendy from the plank, if
only she promises to be his mother â€" an offer she refuses, in
Barrie's words, "Not even for Smee".Smee's position on the Jolly Roger
is presented inconsistently (in a sense, it could be said that "no two
'Smees' are alike"). In Peter and Wendy, he is identified as the
ship's boatswain. He is one of two pirates (the other being Starkey)
who survive the final battle between the children and the pirates, and
"henceforth wandered about the world in his spectacles, making a
precarious living by saying he was the only man that Jas. Hook had
feared."In Peter Pan in Scarlet, he has moved into the Underground
Home of the Lost Boys. He leaves Neverland by the end of the book and
opens up a shop in London that sells souvenirs collected from
Neverland.
