The main conflict is that Meg’s father has been captured by IT on Camazotz and Calvin, Charles, and herself need to save him. The problem started when Meg’s father, Mr. Murry, was trying to tesser to Mars because he worked as a scientist for the government. While tessering he was imprisoned by IT, who is also a part of The Black Thing. This is a conflict because Meg is fighting against IT and the Black Thing in order to save her father. Meg is the protagonist and IT and The Black Thing are the antagonist. This is a problem because Meg misses her father and he has been gone from home for a while. She misses him and so does the rest of her family. The problem affects Meg, Charles, Mrs. Murry, Sandy, and Dennys. The problem is internal because it makes her and her family feel like he does not love them anymore. In chapter one it says, “But it was impossible to think about father without the danger of tears. Only her mother could talk about him in a natural way, saying, “When your father gets back-”. This shows that Meg and her family are very sad without father in their life. It is external because IT and The Black Thing are physically imprisoning Meg’s father on Camazotz. These conflicts are resolved because in chapter nine it says, “Meg kicked at Charles Wallace and ran at the column. She felt as though she were going through something dark and cold. But she was through. “Father!” she cried. And she was in his arms.” This shows that Meg had rescued her father from IT and The Black Thing.
