Barrie gave names to two facets of his personality: M'Connachie was his writing self and J.M.B. was his dour, practical, canny self. M'Connachie represented a regressive, childish, sentimental side which seems derived from fusions of idealized self-images, idealized mother images, and his mother's expectations. M'Connachie had the ideas and wrote the plays; J.M.B. revised and adapted them.
