"The wonderful thing about it all is that whether he is Peter Pan or not, whether he has fallen too far to the dark/twisted side of his personality, or whether he is simply changeable, he has this wonderful multifaceted personality that is very strong and vivid and loveable (usually) and in some ways unlike anything else in literature. Endlessly fun to study and analyze."
Maybe the Doctor's personality comes from the old Victorian bachelor/traveller archtype in British literature? Slightly childlike, very whimsical, yet sometimes deadly serious, with a little touch of darkness, but always a gentleman, with his strange tastes, strange habits, twisted sense of humor and platonic loves.
