That's a fascinating interpretation. While not explicitly stated by J.M. Barrie, it can be argued that Tinkerbell represents the embodiment of Wendy's unrequited love and childish emotions for Peter Pan. Tinkerbell's jealousy and possessiveness towards Peter, as well as her pixie-like nature, can be seen as a symbol of the intense, all-consuming emotions of childhood and first love. This reading adds a layer of depth to the story, suggesting that Tinkerbell is not just a separate character, but also a representation of Wendy's inner world.
