- GOOD VS. EVIL
- Your life is like a sonnet. You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you.
- APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING
- THE POWER OF LOVE
- The central conflict in the book deals with the fight to save the universe from evil. Characters controlled by evil powers face pain, imprisonment, and forced conformity. Goodness is associated with love, freedom, and uniqueness.
- Aunt Beast looks frightening and intimidating, but she is actually warm, gentle, and loving.
- Meg takes love for granted at the start, but soon realizes its power. A desire for love and affection drives Calvin to the Murry family; love propels Meg and Charles Wallace to save their father; and love allows Meg to rescue Charles Wallace.
- Love. That is what I have that IT does not have!
- LIGHT AND DARKNESS
- THEMES, MOTIFS, SYMBOLS
- SCIENCE AND SPACE
- MRS. WHO'S GLASSES
- Light represents goodness, while darkness represents evil. The three Mrs. W's - all good characters - were once stars who died trying to blot out the Dark Thing. Their starlight overpowering the dark cloud symbolizes good destroying evil.
- Half of A Wrinkle in Time takes place in space. Traveling quickly through space is not just a fantasy element. It is based on the scientific idea of a tesseract, which Mr. and Mrs. Murry study.
- Mrs. Who's spectacles highlight the theme of seeing beyond the surface. The glasses allow Mr. Murry to see beyond his prison and escape from Camazotz. Because they provide a way out of the darkness, they also represent hope.
