Who is Mrs Murry?

Mrs. Murry, a key character in A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, is a brilliant scientist and the mother of the protagonist, Meg Murry.

Mrs Murry A Wrinkle in Time

Known for her intellect, warmth, and resilience, Mrs. Murry embodies a balance of rational thinking and emotional depth. She works as a biologist and chemist, often conducting experiments in the family’s home laboratory, which reflects her passion for science and her progressive role as a woman in STEM during the book’s mid-20th-century setting.

Despite the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Mr. Murry, Mrs. Murry remains a pillar of strength for her children—Meg, Charles Wallace, and the twins—offering them unconditional love and encouragement. Her calm demeanor and logical approach provide a sharp contrast to the fantastical events that unfold as the story progresses.

In Ava DuVernay’s 2018 film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, Mrs. Murry is portrayed by Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
