A Wrinkle In Time Essay At the beginning of the novel, Meg is very insecure, a little downtrodden and hot-headed. Fore instance in the novel it says “ But I’m not patient! Meg cried passionately. I’ve never been patient!” She also looks down on herself a lot as it says in the novel “ It’s the weather on top of everything else. On top of me.
