The main characters are Meg Murry, Charles Wallace, Calvin, Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which. Meg Murry is the protagonist of the book and is sent by Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit, and Mrs Which to help save her father from The Black Thing, which is a dark and cold shadow that represents the evil force they are fighting. Charles Wallace is Meg’s five year old little brother who is unimaginably smart with the ability to read minds. It says in chapter one, ”How right had he had been about that, though he himself had left before Charles Wallace began to speak, suddenly, with none of the usual baby preliminaries, using entire sentences...How did Charles Wallace always know about her? How could he always tell?“(pg. 15 and 13). He is sent with Meg to help save her dad. Calvin is a high school athlete that is unloved and unnoticed by his large family. He is sent to help Meg and Charles Wallace save their dad. They are important because the whole book is centered around their actions. Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which are celestial beings that help lead the three children to their dad so they can save him and the universe from The Black Thing. Meg Murry is filled with flaws and has an attitude toward them. It says in chapter one, “A delinquent, that’s what I am, she thought grimly...Why can’t I hide it too? Meg thought. Why do I always have to show everything?”(pg. 8 and 9). This shows that Meg’s attitude toward her flaws is hatred and unwanting. Meg Murry is dynamic because she used to dislike her unwanted flaws but now she treasures them and uses them to her advantage. Charles Wallace, Calvin, Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit, and Mrs Which are all dynamic because they grew from their failures throughout the story.
