Meg Murry Character
“Love. That is what she had that IT did not have.” (p201) The SciFi novel, A Winkle in Time (AWIT) demonstrates the use of love and how underrated and important it really is. Meg Murry goes on a journey to another wold to save her brother. The protagonist, Meg, has many characteristics, including self-doubt, which eventually changes and help her accomplish heroic acts by saving Charles Wallace and changing her attitude forever. To begin, Meg Murry’s characteristics always stood out like a lonely cloud in the clear blue sky. All from her big glasses resting on her nose to fear of being independent, these traits changed in time. “... moonlight shone on her tearstained face; without the glasses her eyes were unexpectedly beautiful.” (p57) This tells us that she cries a lot from being scared and fearful, but also that her glasses hide her facial features along with the fact that she gets emotional easily. Meg also exhibits her fear of doing something on her own but also her bravery in the rising action. “‘All right, I’ll go!’ Meg sobbed.” (p187) In this textual evidence you can tell Meg is feeling pressured into saving Charles Wallace alone, but also open to doing anything that will help her brother from IT.
