How do we know she's Anglican ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]] 19:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is minor evidence from fact that Canon Tallis is Anglican, and the discussion of St. Patrick's Breastplate in A Wind in the Door. But I agree that it's kind of iffy. Someone tagged a bunch of L'Engle characters this way months ago, and I wasn't sure it was quite speculative enough to revert them. Karen | Talk | contribs 19:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Obsessive Compulsive[edit]

Towards the end of A Wrinkle in Time, Meg Murry finds out that she is obsessive-compulsive. Maybe we should mention this in her wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.177.219 (talk) 01:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Having read that novel a few dozen times over the years, I can say with reasonable certainty that no such diagnosis is mentioned or even suggested in the book. I'm not certain that OCD as a term was even in common usage circa 1960 when it was written. Are you perhaps referring to the film adaptation? --Karen | Talk | contribs 06:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meg's Age[edit]

The article hypothesizes that Meg is 14 in Wrinkle. However, in-universe references make me suspect that Meg is twelve in Wrinkle and 14 in A Wind in the Door. There is a reference at the beginning of Wrinkle to a girl telling Meg that they aren't in grammar-school any longer, which sounds as if being in grammar school was recent and she has just entered junior high. In Wind, six-year-old Charles Wallace complains that the high school bus doesn't bring Meg home at the same time that she got home previously; this makes more sense if she just entered high school in Wind rather than being a freshman in Wrinkle. The fact that in Wrinkle Meg recognizes Calvin from school but speaks of him as being "several grades above me" suggests that Regional is a combined junior high and high school (which exist in the American Northeast--I went to one). Finally, in Wrinkle, Meg's mother speaks of her "still enjoying playing with her dolls' house," behavior which I can see more easily with a twelve-year-old than a fourteen-year-old.
