The purpose of this study is to explore the figure of Pan, a Greek nature god, in Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. The Literature of the Edwardian period used Pan to depict fantastic traits like supernatural phenomena, magic, and mystery. Pan is considered to be a symbol of dreams and wishes that cannot be achieved in real life. Grahame's portrayal of Pan evokes nostalgia for a pastoral life and a desire to return to an idealized nature. Through Pan, Grahame transforms a realistic space into a romanticized landscape in which light and sound are combined. The moonlight, whispering wind, and the iconic sound of Pan’s pipes embody the paradisiacal natural images of Grahame’s ‘Arcadia’. Pan can also be seen as a healer, who helps people to overcome the anxieties of reality and provide an opportunity to fulfill wishes through fantasy. Furthermore, Pan becomes a source of literary inspiration that elicits profound creativity and awakens the aesthetic sense of human beings. It could also be said that Pan inspires humans to look for possible alternative ways of life by sublimating mundane experiences into artistic creativity. Grahame’s version of Pan symbolizes his timeless imagination that is able to transcend the boundary between fantasy and reality.
