Meet Peter Watson.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Swan is part of Wes Anderson’s series of short films based on Roald Dahl’s collection The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, and here’s what this story really means. Although Roald Dahl is known for his stories aimed at children, the short story collection The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More is aimed at a slightly older audience, touching on more serious themes but all of them with Dahl’s unique style.
Is The Swan Based On A True Story? As mentioned above, The Swan is one of many short stories found in Roald Dahl’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More collection, but Anderson’s adaptation reveals it was based on a true story. The Swan ends with a card explaining the story was inspired by a newspaper account of an actual event. Dahl kept the news clipping in his “Ideas Book” for three decades, until he finally used it for a story in October of 1976, resulting in The Swan.
Angry because of what they just did, Peter told Ernie and Raymond they were the ones who should be dead. Ernie then cut the swan’s wings, added pieces of string to them, and put them on Peter, who he then forced to climb to the top of a weeping willow and then jump and spread his wings. Peter, seeing the tree as a safe space from the bullies, decided to climb to the highest branch and stay there, but he wasn’t counting on Ernie using his rifle.
Although Anderson’s The Swan leaves Peter’s fate somewhat ambiguous, showing adult Peter on the ground while young Peter stares at him, the original tale reveals he didn’t die, but he did faint after telling his mother his leg hurt. It’s implied, then, that in Anderson’s version, the same happened to Peter, and that’s why he can now tell his story as an adult.
