Meg's Character In A Wrinkle In. Time

Have you ever heard of a tesseract? Well Meg and Charles Wallace didn’t hear about one either until a strange women came to their door. Their curiosity brought them to find the old lady and learn about what it was. Meg the protagonist in “A Wrinkle in
TIme” learns to not rely on other people for things that she needs to do. Now, knowing this it leads her to save Charles Wallace from IT. Meg has changed from a girl who thought very little of herself, to a strong girl that knows she can save her brother. Unlike most people, Meg is a very unique person and she has many different characteristics from the people around her. For example, Meg is very different from everybody at her school. Meg even considers herself as a delinquent in the beginning

“‘A delinquent, that’s what I am”’ (pg6). Meg is not like the rest of the people at her school and she is considered “dumb”. Meg takes too many shortcuts in her work and that is why the people at her school think she is dumb but, Meg is actually very smart and that is why she is so different from everyone else. Meg’s unique characteristics can limit her on what she can do but she learns quickly how to change into a better person then she already is. Meg achieves many things in “A Wrinkle in TIme”. The main thing that meg achieves is, saving her brother Charles Wallace from IT by giving him love. Meg was able to defeat IT by giving Charles Wallace love because the one thing that IT doesn’t have that meg has is love. ”She knew!, Love” (p198) This makes Meg very heroic because not only did she defeat IT, she was able to bring back her family as a whole again. If Meg

hadn’t changed then Meg would not be able to destroy IT. The reason for this is, while she would be with IT her mind would be wanting her father to come and save everything instead of her knowing that it had to be her. Meg knowing that nobody else but her strengthened her power to defeat IT. Meg’s accomplishments would not have been possible if she did not change.
